I work with Black women, femmes, and non-binary people of color who are ready to heal from trauma and reclaim a sense of steadiness in their lives. Many of the people I support are navigating childhood trauma, sexual trauma, betrayal, medical trauma, or painful relationship patterns that continue to echo in the present.

You may find yourself replaying the past, questioning your safety, feeling like you have to be perfect, or carrying a quiet belief that “I should have known better.” Trauma does not just live in memory. It lives in the body. It can show up as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactivity, numbness, or a constant sense of vigilance.

I'm a licensed clinical therapist who helps clients build the skills to process life's challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years experience in behavioral healthcare. My career has led me to work in a wide variety of settings with diverse clientele. Right now, I primarily work with individuals who struggle to manage symptoms related to depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. However, I also have experience working with a wide array of issues that include, addiction, psychosis, trauma, self-esteem, and more.

Have you ever left a therapy session feeling lighter, only to return the next week feeling right back where you started?

You’ve done the work. You’ve learned the tools and the language to describe your thoughts, feelings, and patterns. Yet the relief often feels short-lived. Insights help in the moment, but they don’t always translate into lasting change in your day-to-day life.

It can feel incredibly frustrating or even hopeless. You might start wondering if therapy is even worth it.

Deep down, you just want to feel less anxious... less stressed... less burned out. You want to feel like yourself again. You want to feel truly connected to others. And you want to stop feeling like a hamster stuck on a wheel, running endlessly with no off-ramp.

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. With nearly 20 years of working with caregivers, helping professionals, and many others seeking relief. I have witnessed these same struggles time after time. The frustration, the exhaustion, and for many, a deep and unshakable pain that feels like it never ends. The work doesn’t stop, and yet, things go nowhere.

Through my clients, I’ve learned that what usually brings people to therapy is often just the surface symptom of deeply held core beliefs and personal stories that once served them well but now keep them stuck and, at times, repeating a vicious cycle.

Therapy should feel safe, even when it stretches you beyond your comfort zone. If you’re tired of taking three steps forward only to slide two steps back, and you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward genuine healing and self-discovery.

I started my career working with foster youth, helping provide skills for leaving the foster system and finding success in their adult lives. Over the years, I gained experience working at hospice, doing grief counseling, working at a mental health and substance abuse hospital, working at schools, in private practice, and leading community anxiety groups. I am married and have three kids which provides me with a source of learning every day in how to develop patience, understanding, communication, self awareness, and self care.

Therapy is a journey of personal growth and healing. It takes courage and can be challenging, but you don’t have to embark alone. My hope is that, as your therapist, I can be the holder of hope and a source of support. After obtaining my Master's in Counseling degree in 2015, I have had a wide range of experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families as they work through a wide range of issues including traumatic experiences, grief, depression, and anxiety.
