Racial identity shapes how we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate the world. I help clients explore the impact of race, culture, belonging, discrimination, and family experiences in a safe, supportive space. As a Black therapist and first generation American - I bring cultural awareness and understanding to this work, helping clients process complex emotions, strengthen self-acceptance, and develop confidence in their identity and sense of belonging.

Anxiety spreads like a root, weaving into fear, worry, stress, anger, and overwhelm. I help you slow things down, understand what’s really driving those feelings, and find simple, practical ways to feel more calm and in control. Together we work on easing racing thoughts, building confidence, and creating steadier days. My approach blends science and real-life tools in a supportive space where you can breathe easier, feel understood, and start moving forward with more peace and clarity.

Relationships can bring connection, joy, and fulfillment, but they can also become sources of stress, conflict, and uncertainty. I help clients better understand their relationship patterns, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and navigate trust, conflict, and emotional connection. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and develop healthier ways of connecting with others - but first yourself.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you make room for difficult thoughts and emotions without letting them control your life. I use ACT to help clients identify what truly matters, build psychological flexibility, and take meaningful action toward their values. Rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling, we focus on changing your relationship with those experiences so you can respond with greater confidence, purpose, and intention.

Person-centered therapy starts with you. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted while exploring your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and goals. Because each person is unique, I believe you are the expert on your own experience, and my role is to support your growth rather than tell you how to live. Together, we’ll build greater self-awareness, confidence, and clarity so you can make meaningful changes at your own pace.

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns can influence how you think, feel, and relate to others today. I help clients uncover these patterns with curiosity and compassion, creating greater insight into the roots of their struggles. By understanding yourself more deeply, you can develop healthier ways of coping, strengthen relationships, and make more intentional choices that support lasting personal growth.
