Great to meet you!

Professionally, I have 20 years of experience collaborating with individuals presenting with various treatment needs, such as past and current trauma, anxiety, depression, family and relational issues, parenting, life transitions, and life stressors. I currently hold clinical licensure in the states of Illinois, Georgia, and Washington.

My approach to therapy

While I treat individuals from all socioeconomic, racial and cultural backgrounds, I have dedicated my career to providing quality therapeutic services and interventions to marginalized communities, including black single-mothers, black women and men that are justice-involved, and those that struggle with navigating the daily challenges faced by living in large, urban environments. I incorporate various evidence-based treatment modalities that may best meet your individual needs.

What you can expect from me

I will bring a down-to-earth, approachable presence to therapy and place the utmost importance on fostering a warm and friendly, yet professional relationship with you. Developing a strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation that will support you as we explore pathways towards your healing, develop adaptive and functional coping skills, improve your emotional regulation, and help you experience a more fulfilling life, rather than just exist.
