About My Clients
I work with children, teenagers, young adults, and adults — including Black clients, students navigating academic pressure, first-generation professionals, and clients carrying identity-related stress. Families navigating behavioral and emotional concerns are welcome, as are adults still working through the weight of earlier life experiences. My practice is explicitly culturally responsive and open to clients from all backgrounds.
My Background and Approach
I hold a Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY Hunter College and a Bachelor of Arts in Education Studies, Cum Laude, from Spelman College. I have over 7 years of clinical and educational experience, working with clients across the developmental span. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with trauma-informed care, adapted to each client's developmental stage and cultural context. With children, I incorporate play-based approaches. With adolescents and adults, I build a collaborative, culturally grounded therapeutic relationship where clients don't need to explain themselves first.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy is most effective when it honors the client's full context — race, culture, family, community, generation. As a Black therapist, I am committed to providing care that doesn't ask clients to translate themselves or minimize their lived experience. I hold space for code-switching exhaustion, identity development, and the specific weight of being navigated by systems that weren't built with your wellbeing in mind.
