I practice an integrative therapeutic approach. People are layered, and healing requires room for all those layers. My work thoughtfully blends evidence-based modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused strategies, relational therapy, and psychodynamic exploration of how past experiences shape current patterns.
As a Black woman clinician, I understand the hold that identity, culture, faith, and family systems can have on how we navigate the world and whether we feel safe enough to heal. I bring cultural awareness into the room so you don’t have to explain or defend your lived experience before we can get to the work.
At the heart of my practice is relationship. Therapy is most effective when you feel deeply seen, emotionally safe, and also gently challenged. Together, we name and shift patterns that may no longer serve you, while building coping skills and emotional insight that support the future you want.
When appropriate, I draw from my own lived experience — not to center myself, but to normalize, affirm, and connect.
Our goal: honor what shaped you, strengthen what sustains you, and build what will help you move forward.
