My communication style

I aim for clarity in communication. Because I am collaborative, I make room for clients to share what is working and what is not working. My hope is that through clear communication, we can establish your goals and meet your expectations for therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been deeply curious about people and relationships, with a passion for helping others. I discovered my true calling in Family Science, where I learned about the challenges faced by diverse families and developed a desire to create meaningful change. Today, I take joy and feel honored in training the next generation of family therapists.

My goals for you

At the start of therapy, I use assessments and measures to ensure your needs are clearly understood. Together, we co-create a treatment plan to establish meaningful goals. Throughout our work, I update these plans and maintain open communication to track progress and identify areas that need continued focus.

Our first session

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and determine if we're a good fit. I'll share my background, explain logistics, and answer your questions. Together, we'll identify your primary concerns and outline a treatment plan covering how often we'll meet and what we'll address first.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
• Christian
