Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience, deeply passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families through the journey of evolving, healing, and reclaiming their inner power. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and English from North Carolina Central University, a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary, and a Master of Political Science from Howard University.

My approach to therapy

I am a multi-disciplinary therapist known for integrating Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and trauma-informed care grounded in evidence-based practices. My approach is enriched by creative modalities including Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Faith-Based Therapy, and Dance Therapy, tailored to meet the unique emotional, spiritual, and psychological needs of each client. Specializing in high-performing individuals, I support elite minds navigating anxiety, depression, racial trauma, burnout, and the overwhelming demands of visibility, constant performing, and identity transitions. As both an Army Veteran and a former athlete, I understand the emotional toll of performing under pressure and the strength it takes to heal in silence while leading in public.

What you can expect from me

Whether you’re a leader, a survivor, or simply someone seeking inner peace amid external expectations, my mission is clear: to help you become the highest version of yourself—unapologetically and wholeheartedly because you deserve the best you!
