Great to meet you!

I utilize Cognitive behavioral, Dialectical behavioral and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (CBT and ACT). I graduated from Delaware State University in 2019 with my Master of Social Work Degree. I currently hold my Licensed Clinical Social Work (LCSW) and Certified Advanced Drug and Alcohol Certification (CAADC). I’ve worked in various settings ranging from treating offenders in a correctional facility, residential mental health and substance use programs to outpatient individual therapy. I specialize in Addiction, Anxiety, Depression and Grief.

My approach to therapy

If you're navigating the complex layers of this thing called life, silently managing everything for everyone else while feeling like you're unraveling inside, you're not alone. My clients often come to me with high anxiety that feels constant and overwhelming. There’s a heaviness they can’t quite name—a deep grief, a lingering ache. They question their worth, their choices, and sometimes even their ability to move forward. You might feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere in the chaos. Like your life became about survival—keeping the peace, holding it all together, shrinking yourself to fit the mold of what others wanted you to be. In our work together, I offer a warm, steady presence and a non-judgmental space where you can finally exhale. This is your place to untangle the anxiety, name the grief, and begin healing the emotional wounds that have been weighing you down for far too long. Together, we’ll gently reconnect you to your values, your voice, and your vision for a life that actually feels good—on your terms. You’ll learn to quiet the internal noise, trust your own instincts, and begin building a future that honors everything you’ve survived without letting it define you. You’ve carried so much for so long. It’s okay to lay some of it down now.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, my primary goals will be to get to know you and identify how I can best support you. I will ask you basic mental health history questions, identify your mental health needs and goals and start building rapport.
