I earned a M.S. degree in Dance/Movement Therapy from Pratt Institute. I specialize in Dance/Movement Therapy psycho-therapeutic interventions designed to assist with symptoms caused by trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem & chemical dependency. Dance Movement Therapy incorporates both verbal and non-verbal techniques, providing variety to support self-expression & increase self-awareness.

I am a Perinatal Mental Health trained provider. In private practice, I counsel women & couples experiencing reproductive loss, perinatal mood disorders & infertility. I educate and advocate for the Reproductive & Maternal Mental Health field on my personal Facebook page by providing resources and a free support group. I've facilitated postpartum support groups for Mothers, as well as clinical process groups for Mothers receiving services in the behavioral health department.

As someone who has experienced the struggle of infertility, I know first hand how difficult it may be to cope. I focus on supporting black women navigating their fertility journey by providing a safe space to process their feelings. I educate and advocate for the Reproductive & Maternal Mental Health field by hosting discussions on my Womb Wisdom podcast.

I have developed policies and standards of work to integrate the treatment of mental health and substance abuse in behavioral health. As a result, I was selected to attend the Behavior Health Leadership Scholarship Summit by the Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment. I have experience leading presentations on evidenced based practices for improved outcomes with clients.
