DREAM LIFE
Self-love will help you grow and heal...in fact, self-love will change you, and change your life.
MY THERAPEUTIC
Using an eclectic approach that focuses on SELF-LOVE, GROWTH & HEALING and integrates aspects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy, person-centered therapy and dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT), I will help you recover from the life challenges that get in the way of you living the very best version of your life.
Our work together is always collaborative. At times, I am a quiet advocate or active listener and at other times, I might encourage you to consider another perspective.

Tailored To Black Women
While I welcome working with a diverse population of clients, I am dedicated to the growth, healing and mental wellness of Black women and girls.
​
I know first hand about the importance of shared cultural experiences and inclusivity. I also recognize the desire to be your real, uncensored self, and to freely discuss your feelings, thoughts and beliefs about yourself, your family, your relationships, your job, your dreams, being a Black woman in America, and anything else that is on your mind.
​
I use my education, skills and experiences to help you embrace your Black Girl Magic and work on whatever is getting in the way of you LOVING YOUR WHOLE LIFE. Again, I get it - and you.
