About me

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from Hampton University and have been practicing for over 15 years. I work all age groups who are struggling with mood, life transitions, and family conflicts. I strive to bring healing by providing a comfortable and optimistic environment where therapy is collaborative, supportive, non-judgmental, safe, and accessible.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I've developed a style where I seek to relate to clients experiences through the lens of empathy.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults seeking symptom relief from life challenges.
