About Me

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life, by applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or your just ready to move in a new direction in your life. Live life, free your mind..


Amongst my areas of expertise are individual, couples and families; bereavement; anxiety and depression. My approach is an interactive, solution-focused therapist. My approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively addressing personal life challenges. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client,


At the core of my practice is my work with African Americans, addressing colorism and internalized racism and how it affect your interpersonal relationships. Helping clients recognize how the complexion of your skin plays a role in who you become, how you are viewed and how it affects your mood.
