MA, LCMHC-A
Accepting Clients

I see therapy as a collaborative effort between client and therapist. As a queer black woman, I aim to provide space for self exploration.

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in Durham, NC
Supervised by Tiarra Morris, S11705

About My Clients

I have a passion for working with women of color and LGBTQIA+ identifying folks. If you find yourself experiencing things like depression and anxiety, or low self-esteem/self-concept, I may be a good fit for you. I have past experience working with clients on things like life adjustments (moving, end of a relationship, career change, etc.), grief and loss, day-to-day stressors, and relationship concerns - romantic, platonic, familial, and professional.

My Background and Approach

I like to take an integrative approach to counseling using person-centered, strength-based, solution-focused, CBT, and mindfulness approaches, but the most important piece in my practice is building an honest and genuine relationship with my clients. I do my best to have social justice and black feminist perspectives throughout my sessions. I love all things plants and nature, so much so that I am certified in Therapeutic Horticulture - a treatment modality that aims to use plants and nature in a passive and active way to promote mental and physical wellness. I am also certified in Brainspotting, and am open to using it with clients as they please.
