Great to meet you!

Thank you for visiting my page!


I have had the privilege of working with powerful women like you as a therapist for over 10 years. Graduating from Howard University in 2010 with a master's in social work, I am passionate about supporting women in prioritizing their self-care so they can manage the stressors of life that can lead to anxiety, depression, and diminished quality of life.

My approach to therapy

It is absolutely important that you feel safe in your sessions. For this reason, my approach is very warm, down to earth, and interactive. I don't like my sessions to feel "stuffy."


This is particularly important for those seeking support with anxiety, which is what I specialize in. There are enough experiences in life that make you anxious, so my goal is to not let therapy be another unsafe space.


In addition to anxiety, I also support women struggling with depression and low self-esteem.

What you can expect from me

Here is what you can expect from our sessions together:


Establishing rapport & Learning about you (developing a sense of safety and connection)


Gaining insight on what thinking and behavior patterns your struggle with, and gaining insight on why they are there. (Learning about the brain & anxiety response system)


Using the insight you are learning about yourself to improve your approach to your self-care goals to reduce your symptoms, feel better, and improve quality of life.
