Great to meet you!

Let me keep it real, life can be a challenge at times! Let me assist you in navigating through it. I am a faith-based, licensed clinician with real-life experiences that have been the catalyst for my "Keep It Real" approach to therapy. I congratulate you for choosing to speak and share the most important and private thoughts you have with me.

My approach to therapy

I like to believe that I am the type of therapist who keeps sessions real, applicable, and relatable, and I help Black professional women who are experiencing Depression and/or Anxiety and who feel stuck in life to explore ways to implement change and build confidence to move forward. In my practice I strive to provide a Human to Human interaction and connection. It is my belief that all the schooling in the world doesn’t equal genuine care, and a provider that truly tries to make the experience of therapy the most comfortable as possible.

What you can expect from me

Because each person has different issues and goals for counseling, your first session with me may look a little different and that’s intentional. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your specific needs, but generally, our first session is a chance for me to get to know you, your story, and what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’d like to work on, any current challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to gain from the process. I’ll also share a bit about my approach so you can get a feel for how I work and make sure it feels like a good fit for you. Most importantly, this session is about creating a comfortable, real, and judgment-free space where you can begin to show up as your authentic self.
