Great to meet you!

As a Black female therapist, who prides herself on making difficult situations bearable and journeying with clients to wellness, my greatest joy is fostering hope. With a background in social work and divinity, the goal is to create a safe space whether one incorporates spirituality into treatment or not.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I specialize in treating trauma, depression, PTSD, and anxiety grounded in broken attachments from a caregiver or faith organization. I'm trained in EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, and I use a host of other modalities to tailor treatment to your needs. I work with cultural competence and cultural humility. I use an integrative approach to the various body-based modalities I’m trained in to foster a pathway to wellness.

What you can expect from our first session

Our journey will include addressing what has kept you STUCK so you can become UNSTOPPABLE in every aspect of your life!"
