My communication style

My communication style is informal, genuine, and supportive. I use analogies often to help clients understand what I'm conveying. I encourage you to ask questions if anything isn't clear. I deeply value being understood and want to hear what you have to say.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a soft spot for children and it really bothered me to see them emotionally suffering. It became my passion to be a safe person for children and support their mental well-being. My passion expanded to maternal mental health, a vulnerable population that is underserved.

My goals for you

You determine your goals for therapy and I simply polish up the wording. If you are stuck on identifying your therapy goals, I guide you through it and offer suggestions. I support you in reaching your goals by sharing evidence-based tools, techniques, and strategies.

Our first session

In your first session, you can expect to be greeted with warmth and sincerity. I will explain the therapeutic process and answer any questions you may have. You can share what you feel comfortable sharing. There is no pressure to share what you don't want to. I aim to offer a sense of hope and relief.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
