In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and determine how I can best support you. We will review what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and explore relevant personal, cultural, and emotional factors that may be impacting your well-being. I will also explain my approach to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and review important information related to confidentiality, consent, and session structure. This session is collaborative and paced according to your comfort level. You are not expected to share everything at once or revisit difficult experiences before you feel ready. Together, we will begin identifying next steps and create a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. My aim is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and clear about how we will move forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths lie in my ability to provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors the full context of each client’s lived experience. I create a therapeutic space that is grounded, collaborative, and emotionally safe, allowing clients to explore difficult experiences without feeling rushed or judged. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support meaningful, lasting change. I am particularly skilled at helping clients identify core beliefs, process unresolved experiences, and reconnect with their values. For clients who desire it, I thoughtfully integrate Christian counseling and biblical principles in a way that complements clinical best practices. Clients often benefit from my balanced approach—combining empathy with clarity, depth with structure, and insight with practical tools—to support healing, resilience, and intentional growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve adults—particularly Black women—who are navigating depression, identity concerns, trauma, and major life transitions. My ideal clients are those who feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer align with their values. Many are seeking deeper healing, greater self-understanding, and meaningful change rather than short-term symptom relief. I work well with clients who are open to self-reflection, values-based growth, and evidence-based therapy approaches such as EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am also a good fit for individuals who desire culturally responsive care or wish to integrate faith and biblical principles into the therapeutic process. Together, we focus on healing, resilience, and building a life that feels intentional and authentic.
