My communication style

I take a down-to-earth, compassionate, and conversational approach in therapy. I want you to feel like you're talking to someone who genuinely cares and understands without judgment. While I'll offer guidance and tools, I also follow your lead and respect your pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist was driven by a deep passion for helping others overcome their struggles and heal from trauma. I've had the privilege of working with individuals from all walks of life, learning the powerful impact of empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices in therapy.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to set goals that are meaningful, realistic, and tailored to their unique needs. Together, we identify what's most important to you, whether it's managing symptoms, building healthier coping skills, or healing from past trauma. We move at a pace that feels right for you.

Our first session

In our first session, the focus will be on getting to know each other and creating a comfortable, safe space for you to share. I'll ask about your background, current challenges, and what brought you to therapy. We'll also discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the process and begin to identify some initial goals.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
