Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm a biracial-Black independent Social Worker (LISW) located in Columbus, Ohio. With over 15 years in the mental health field, I aim to provide a supportive, empathetic, and down-to-earth space for you to explore what's present.

My approach to therapy

I'm most interested in working with folks who want to feel more liberated from their past. I specialize in EMDR therapy and supporting you in creating more ease in your everyday life. My approach tends to be grounding and direct; session time is spent working directly with what's present so you can get back to feeling your best.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll spend some time getting to know one another and establishing what your goal for therapy is. From there, we'll work directly with your goals and spend session time focusing on them so you can get back to your most expansive life!
