Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and a current Doctor of Social Work student. As a Black, queer clinician, I specialize in helping high-achieving adults manage anxiety, depression, burnout, and big life changes. I know how exhausting it is to always be the "strong one" while navigating the extra pressures of marginalized identities. My goal is to give you a safe, affirming space where you don’t have to pretend you have it all figured out.

My style is warm, active, and collaborative—I won’t just sit back in silence while you do all the work. Together, we will look at the habits and survival skills that helped you succeed in the past, even if they are leaving you burned out today. I use proven, practical tools alongside a culturally affirming lens to help you quiet your inner critic and manage daily stress. Whether you are facing a major life shift or feeling stuck in overdrive, we will build a plan that fits your real life.

You don't need a script or a plan for our first session—just show up as you are. We will have a relaxed, open conversation about what is weighing on you right now and what you want out of therapy. You can also ask me any questions you have about my style so we can make sure we are a good fit. By the end of our time, we will set a few simple goals so you leave feeling heard, supported, and clear on our next steps.
