As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep desire for helping individuals navigate stress and anxiety, I am passionate about working with women, especially African American women. With 5 years of experience in the field, I understand the unique challenges and pressures that many women face in today's world. I also understand the unique cultural, social, and systemic factors that can impact the mental health of African American women. I am commited to providing a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their concerns.
