(she/her)
I am a licensed professional counselor providing virtual therapy to women and mothers across Pennsylvania. I specialize in supporting Black women and mothers navigating anxiety, postpartum mood changes, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and the mental load of balancing life, work, and family. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, stuck in survival mode, or disconnected from themselves. In our work together, I offer a supportive but honest space where you can process what you’re carrying, build practical coping skills, and feel more grounded and confident in daily life. My approach is trauma-informed and skills-based, integrating mindfulness, CBT, and DBT techniques to help you regulate emotions, manage anxiety, and reconnect with yourself without pressure to “have it all together.”
Our first session is a time to slow down, get grounded, and begin building a connection. We’ll talk about what led you to therapy, what you’re currently navigating, and what you hope to get out of this space. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear plan — we’ll move at your pace. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, current stressors, and what support looks like for you. We’ll also discuss any symptoms you’re noticing, such as anxiety, overwhelm, mood changes, or difficulty coping. If it feels helpful, we may begin introducing gentle coping or grounding strategies you can use between sessions. By the end of the session, we’ll talk about next steps and begin shaping goals that feel realistic and supportive of your life. This is a judgment-free space where you can show up as you are; tired, unsure, emotional, or simply needing support.
My approach is client-centered, meaning therapy is guided by your needs, pace, and goals NOT a one-size-fits-all model. I prioritize creating a space where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in shaping their treatment. I work collaboratively, helping clients identify what feels most pressing in their lives while offering structure, insight, and practical tools when needed. Sessions are flexible and responsive, allowing us to adjust focus as life changes while still working toward meaningful progress. A key strength of my work is helping clients feel empowered and confident throughout the therapy process. I integrate evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness in ways that are practical, culturally responsive, and applicable to everyday life. Clients often report increased self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, and greater confidence in managing stress and life circumstances outside of sessions.
I specialize in working with Black Women and Mothers while welcoming clients of all backgrounds who are seeking a safe, supportive space to heal and reconnect with themselves. I work best with women and mothers navigating overwhelm, burnout, anxiety, depression, postpartum challenges, and identity loss. Many of my clients are used to being strong for others and are ready to prioritize themselves, gain clarity, and find balance in their lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT teaches real-life skills—how to regulate emotions, stay grounded, set boundaries, and not shut down when life gets heavy. I use DBT to help moms manage daily stress, respond instead of react, and create routines that feel calmer and more controlled
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I offer culturally sensitive therapy that recognizes how your background, identity, and experiences shape your story. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. I integrate cultural awareness with evidence-based care, helping you heal, grow, and reconnect with your authentic self.
Strength-Based
I use a strength-based approach that focuses on the resilience, wisdom, and power you already have—especially as a Black woman and mother. Together, we’ll highlight your strengths and build on the skills that have carried you this far. This approach helps you feel more confident, capable, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges while honoring your journey
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help Black women and mothers understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we explore patterns that may be holding you back and work on practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking. CBT helps you manage stress, build coping skills, and feel more in control—so you can navigate motherhood, life transitions, and everyday challenges with confidence and clarity.
Trauma Informed Care
I provide trauma-informed care, approaching therapy with an understanding of how past experiences and trauma can impact your emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I create a safe, supportive space where Black women and mothers can feel seen, heard, and respected. Together, we work at your pace to build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and empower you to heal, grow, and reclaim a sense of safety and control in your life.
