I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I’ve been licensed since 2016 and began seeing individuals in 2013. In my ten years of practice, I have worked with children, teens, and adults. I also have experience working with new mothers and first responders. My focus at this time is on anxiety, depression, job stress, and family stress.

Ebony is honestly one of the reasons I am doing better. She has a calming yet welcoming vibe that allows you to trust her and open up to her. A lot of people seem calming but aren’t welcoming, ebony is both. She has helped me with my primary problem but has also given advice on smaller issues that worked amazing
