Specialty:
Therapist for Black People Who Worry
Who I Help:
I love working with clients who have experienced trauma that no one has ever acknowledged and educating them on how trauma impacts the brain, body, and relationships. I also love working with people who have experienced major losses and anxiety as a result.

How Can I Help?
While working together, my clients often feel heard, validated, and lighter. They learn the connection between their habits and their feelings, and are better able to give themselves grace. They feel stronger in their decision making and better able to advocate for themselves.
Why This Work Matters
What Can You Expect When Working With Me
As a Black woman, I’ve experienced first hand the anxiety that comes with living in a society not built for us to succeed. I’m passionate about creating a safe space to help clients work through traumatic experiences that may be holding them back from moving forward, through the means of active listening, empathy and non-judgment. In the beginning of our journey together, there will be a lot of sharing of experiences that has shaped you as an individual. Additionally, there will be validation of your feelings regarding those experience and compassion as you enter towards a stage of healing. Lastly, your will be encouraged to learn and practice skills such as cognitive reframing and thought recording to monitor any patterns or belief systems that may not serve you anymore.
What It's Like Working With Me
I create a space where you are welcome to come as you are. Authenticity is a must. Working with me will often come with humor, education, support, and honesty. I will also gently challenge you on thoughts and behaviors that leave you stuck.
My Approach
CBT, Trauma-Informed, TF-CBT
If You're Unsure About Starting Therapy...
You’ve been thinking about talking to someone but that’s scary. I get it. Asking for help is hard, but if you’re ready, we can walk this journey together.
Why We May Be A Good Fit
Therapy should be tailored to the individual and not just to the diagnosis. I believe in helping my clients understand how their minds work and the feelings they struggle with. If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, honest, and gives you the knowledge you need to navigate your mental health, I’d love to hear from you.
