You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling with anxiety or depression, or finding it difficult to navigate relationships and family challenges. Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve a space where you feel welcomed, respected, and supported without judgment. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than five years of experience, I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Tougaloo College and my Masters in Social Work. I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges and find healthier ways forward. My approach is warm, open-minded, and affirming. I value the experiences that make each person unique and believe everyone deserves to feel heard and understood.

I believe therapy should be a supportive, collaborative experience that helps you recognize your strengths and create meaningful change. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Strength-Based Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and relationships influence your well-being while identifying practical tools to help you manage stress, navigate anxiety and depression, and strengthen your relationships. I take an affirming, open-minded approach and tailor our work to your individual needs, goals, and comfort level.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain from the experience, and any challenges you’ve been facing. We’ll work together to establish realistic goals and identify strategies that feel useful and manageable in your everyday life. You can expect a warm, welcoming environment where your voice matters and you can move at a pace that feels comfortable. My goal is to help you feel supported as you build confidence, develop healthier coping skills, and move toward greater balance and well-being.
