Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm excited to help you overcome self-doubt, manage work-related anxiety and stress, and navigate toxic or unaffirming work/academic environments. I specialize in working with Black professional women and students struggling with these areas and have been a therapist for 15 years.

My approach to therapy

I provide a space where you can put aside code switching, take off your 9-5 armor, and truly be heard.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we'll spend some time getting to know who you are- the things you enjoy, the people who bring you joy, and the things that are going well. Who you are is so much more than your struggles. We'll also spend time talking about why you're seeking therapy, and set goals for our work together.
