LICENSED social worker (she/her)

I believe that every individual deserves to live a fulfilling and empowered life.

I am a licensed social worker specializing in mental health with experience across community mental health, hospitals, hospice care, and private practice. The foundation of my work is grounded in helping clients build practical, sustainable coping strategies to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and grief.

I do my best work empowering Black women and women of color as they navigate the unique pressures, expectations, and barriers that can impact emotional well-being. I understand the importance of culturally sensitive care, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we explore patterns, uncover strengths, and nurture resilience.

Clients often describe my approach as calm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe to show up as your full self, and I am committed to fostering an environment where vulnerability is welcomed and growth feels possible.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will listen deeply, honor your lived experience, and help you build tools that truly support your day-to-day life, I would be honored to work with you.
