My communication style

I create a safe, grounded, and compassionate space where clients feel seen and supported. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative, helping clients explore difficult truths while also empowering them with tools, clarity, and encouragement. Working with me feels honest, supportive, and uplifting.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own self-healing journey drew me to therapy, where I discovered the power of holistic practices in repairing trauma and relationships. I became a therapist to help others move from survival into healing, offering culturally conscious, compassionate care that honors each client's story.

My goals for you

I use assessment tools unique to each client, along with Rula's guidance, to create personalized goals. My own self-healing journey taught me that growth must be collaborative and flexible, so I partner with clients to set goals that are practical, meaningful, and rooted in their strengths.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect an open, welcoming, conversational space where I listen to your story, gather background, and explore your goals. We'll identify your most pressing needs, begin mapping your patterns, and set an initial plan so you leave feeling supported and understood.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
