My communication style

My communication style is warm, direct, and supportive. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space while also being honest and goal-focused. I balance empathy with practical guidance, helping you feel heard while providing clear feedback, tools, and direction to support your growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this field through a deep passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges and access meaningful support. Almost 30 years in human services, I’ve worked across clinical, community, and crisis settings, which strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, goal-oriented care that truly makes a difference in people’s lives.

My goals for you

I help clients set clear, meaningful goals and break them into manageable steps. We track progress, build practical coping skills, and address barriers as they arise. I use evidence-based approaches and adjust the plan as needed to support steady, lasting change.

Our first session

Your first session is a welcoming, low-pressure space to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what brings you in, your history, strengths, and what you’d like to work on. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and outline a plan so you leave with clarity, support, and next steps.

I identify as...

• Female
• Biracial or Multiracial, Black or African American
• Christian, Non-denominational
