I entered into this field to help individuals to learn, grow and heal at their own pace. I fundamentally believe that we are the experts of ourselves and our experiences. My role through my education, learning and experience is to support clients’ in unlocking their awareness of patterns to increase the clients’ ability to access the tools within them to facilitate their learning, growth and healing through a collaborative process.

As a Black/African American woman, I am passionate about working with people of color (especially people of color who identify as LGBTIA+) in destigmatizing mental health in our communities and identifying how systemic racism/systemic oppression affect our mental health.

My strengths as a therapist are rooted in fifteen years of experience working in the field as a mental health clinician in a variety of settings. I have supported individual’s ability to access their inherent tools to overcome struggles connected to trauma, grief & loss, depression and general anxiety. Over the course of my experience I have developed skills in providing therapy to underrepresented, underserviced families, children, individuals, and couples. I also have a wealth of experience supporting youth involved in the juvenile justice system, oppositional teens, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

My therapeutic stance is client-centered and strength-based. Through the use of Motivational Interviewing and techniques from the Harm Reduction Model, I am able to provide the clients I serve with a thorough, strength-based and client driven assessment of their mental health needs. With my use of Reality Therapy and Cognitive behavioral therapeutic approaches, I am able to quickly join/engage with the clients I serve. I also support them with the development and progress toward their individualized growth plans.

During a first session with me, you can expect an easygoing, non-judgmental experience for us to connect and see if we are a good fit for each other.
