Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and asking for help is one of the bravest decisions you can make. My goal is to provide a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and burnout. Whether you're feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, struggling to heal from the past, or simply trying to regain a sense of balance, we'll work together to identify practical solutions while addressing the deeper issues that may be contributing to your distress.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with individuals and families affected by autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, behavioral health concerns, foster care, adoption, caregiver stress, and complex family dynamics. These experiences have strengthened my ability to meet people with compassion, patience, and respect, regardless of where they are in their journey.
I have a special passion for supporting Black women, caregivers, helping professionals, and individuals seeking culturally responsive care. For clients who desire it, I also provide Christian counseling by integrating faith and biblical principles into the therapeutic process in a way that aligns with your personal beliefs and goals.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based interventions, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I believe therapy should be individualized—there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing.
Above all, I believe healing happens within the context of a trusting relationship. I will meet you with honesty, compassion, and accountability while helping you develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your confidence, improve your relationships, and move toward the life you want to create.
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We'll take it one step at a time, together.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
