Great to meet you!

If you’re looking for a therapist because you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for real change, you’re in the right place. I work with clients who want to break free from unhealthy patterns, low self-worth, anxiety, depression, and relational trauma. Many of my clients feel caught in cycles of manipulation, people-pleasing, or emotional shutdown and are ready to understand why these patterns keep repeating.

My approach to therapy

As a psychodynamic therapist, I help you explore your story—your past, your relationships, and the experiences that shaped you—so you can understand the root of your emotions and behaviors. Together, we make sense of your inner world and create space for new choices, healthier boundaries, and meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

If you’ve been searching for a Black therapist who understands cultural stress, family dynamics, and the weight of unspoken expectations, I’m here. I bring humor, history, cultural context, and authenticity into the therapy space so your full story can be seen and understood.
