Great to meet you!

I am a Black woman who works with individuals and couples. A large number of client work involves cultural and identity issues that impact folks of color. Additionally, I work in a trauma-focused manner when addressing anxiety and depression.

My approach to therapy

I work from an integrative approach. Individuals and couples need skill-building through various treatment engagement approaches. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. Flexibility is key when navigating interpersonal concerns.

What you can expect from me

In my initial session, I allow the client to ask questions, get comfortable with the process, and share their goals and expectations.
