About My Clients

I work with adults, teens, and families who feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, grief, toxic relationships, or major life transitions. My ideal clients are those who may feel stuck or overwhelmed but are ready to take steps toward healing and growth. I specialize in creating a safe, supportive space where you feel understood while learning practical coping tools. Together, we’ll work toward peace, balance, and a stronger sense of self.

My Background and Approach

I am a Board-Certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (NCC, LCPC-S, LPC-AS) with more than 13 years of experience in the mental health field. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—including employment services, housing, ACT teams, homeless services, case management, and clinical leadership. These experiences give me a unique ability to understand the challenges people face from multiple angles and to provide practical, effective support. I specialize in helping adults, teens, and families manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, toxic relationships, and major life transitions. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, mindfulness, and person-centered care—always tailored to your unique needs. Clients benefit from real-life coping skills they can use right away, as well as a safe, supportive space to process emotions and discover new strengths. My goal is to empower you to find relief, healing,

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Black woman and mental health professional, I understand firsthand how culture, identity, and lived experiences shape our emotional well-being. I value creating an inclusive and affirming space for people of all backgrounds, with a special focus on supporting those who may feel unseen or misunderstood. I am passionate about dismantling the stigma around mental health, particularly in communities of color and faith-based spaces, and I believe therapy should feel safe, compassionate, and accessible. I also advocate for social justice and equity in mental health services and have been involved in community outreach supporting individuals and families navigating homelessness, trauma, and systemic barriers. My practice is built on the values of empathy, empowerment, and connection. I believe that healing happens not just within ourselves, but also in the communities we build and the causes we support.
