- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With a background in mental health counseling, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns. I'm passionate about helping people build resilience, improve communication, and cultivate self-love as they move through life transitions.
My approach is grounded in compassion and cultural responsiveness. I understand the unique experiences of Black individuals and those seeking faith-centered support, and I'm committed to creating an affirming space where your identity and values are honored. I specialize in working with young adults and individuals processing trauma, grief, guilt, shame, and questions of purpose and belonging.
Whether you're working through attachment patterns, caregiver stress, body image concerns, or navigating prejudice and discrimination, I'm here to support your healing journey. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you develop coping skills, process difficult emotions, and move toward greater peace and authenticity.
Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you with genuine care and respect.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
