About My Clients

Welcome to the first step! I create a welcoming and sacred space for black and brown women and men, who are navigating layered roles, related but not limited to caregiving, parenting, work-life demands, grief, entrepreneurship, and more. If you're feeling uncertain, anxious, depressed, conflicted or a combination of many emotions; I can support with tools for coping and learning healthy behaviors to reach your goal.

My Background and Approach

As an LCSW-C with over 10 years of experience, I provide clinically sound, client-centered care tailored to your unique goals and experiences. My approach is person-centered & tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and more. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and strengths while developing practical tools to help you move toward your goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In our work together, we will look at the whole picture—combining traditional talk therapy with body-based awareness. We will dive into how your past experiences are shaping your present, process old traumas, and learn to tune into your nervous system. Along the way, we will focus on unlearning old patterns and building practical, daily coping tools for a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
