As a licensed clinical psychologist since 2000 I have worked primarily with adolescents and adults living with HIV and other chronic health conditions in the US, Asia, and Africa. I also work with young adults who struggle with navigating identities based on race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. My clinical approach is shaped by my research and teaching at Howard University, DC where I serve as faculty in the Department of Psychology. I care deeply about what the science says - but even more about how it plays out in everyday life.

Therapy is essentially intentional conversations that help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and relationships shape the way you manage distress and thrive in life. But insight needs to be practically applied to move forward in ways that are fulfilling and meaningful to you. This will be the work ahead of us.

First sessions are all about fit. Therapy is as helpful as the vibe you feel from your therapist and the expectations you carry about the therapy process. First impression matter...and so do questions. What happens in therapy? What are reasonable expectations of change? How quickly will I begin to notice change? Yep, we will have much to talk about in our first session.
