- LPC
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and deeply personal struggles. Throughout my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and questions about self-worth and life purpose.
My approach is grounded in compassion and cultural responsiveness. I'm committed to creating a welcoming space where you feel seen, heard, and valued—particularly for clients seeking a therapist who understands the intersection of faith, identity, and healing. I bring sensitivity to the unique experiences of Black women and communities of color, and I'm attuned to how systemic experiences shape mental health and wellbeing.
I specialize in helping clients work through isolation, communication challenges, attachment patterns, abandonment wounds, and body image concerns. I also support clients navigating major life transitions, workplace stress, financial worries, midlife shifts, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, and questions around forgiveness and personal agency.
My therapeutic style emphasizes self-compassion, authentic connection, and practical tools for building resilience. I believe healing happens in relationship—with yourself and others—and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you reclaim your voice, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward greater peace and purpose.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
