About My Clients

I work with clients who often feel the pressure to be strong, independent, and resilient in every aspect of their lives. While these qualities are admirable, I want you to know that you don’t have to carry it all alone. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to share the weight and prioritize your well-being. Together, we’ll navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels authentic and sustainable for you.

My Background and Approach

With over 15 years of experience as a mental health professional, I am honored to partner with clients on their journey toward their ideal lifestyle. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like CBT and ACT to help identify and deconstruct unhelpful thought patterns that may no longer serve you. Together, we’ll work to break free from behaviors such as seeking outdated validation, pursuing unaligned goals, or striving for hyper-independence when vulnerability feels more authentic. I earned my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in English Literature from Clark Atlanta University and my Doctor of Psychology degree from the PGSP-Stanford Psy.D. Consortium. My training includes an APA-accredited internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Georgia State University Counseling and Testing Center. I look forward to collaborating with you on your journey to growth and fulfillment.
