My communication style

I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help, especially to a stranger; therefore, I try to create a safe and inviting environment. Working with me is a calm and validating experience that allows growth through a difficult situation.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I could not find the help I needed. I wanted to help myself so that I could help people like me who were also struggling to find help. I have had the opportunity to be a part of so many people's growth, and the privilege to do that drives me to continue on this path.

My goals for you

Goal setting will always be a collaborative experience when working with me.

Our first session

Our first session together will focus on talking about how you've been feeling recently. I will ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. We will focus on rapport and connection building so that we are comfortable with one another. All this will allow me to get a sense of how we should move forward.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
• Christian
