Mental health has always been my passion. Growing up African American and in poverty, I rarely saw people who looked like me talking about mental health—let alone seeking help for it. I made a choice to change that. I became a therapist not just to provide support, but to be a visible, relatable presence in a space that has too often felt out of reach for my community. My mission is to normalize conversations around mental health in the African-American community and ensure that those who have been underserved feel seen, heard, and validated. I believe that representation matters—and that healing is possible when clients can sit across from someone who truly understands their lived experiences. I approach therapy with compassion, authenticity, and cultural humility. I work to build strong, trusting relationships with my clients, knowing that real healing happens when people feel safe. I use a range of therapeutic methods — including CBT, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, ACT, interpersonal therapy, and psychodynamic approaches that are tailored to each client’s unique needs.
