I’m a Northeast Ohio therapist at Candor and Hope Therapy, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families heal from past hurts, navigate life’s challenges, and strengthen their relationships. Using a collaborative blend of cognitive-behavioral and systemic approaches, I guide clients in replacing unhelpful habits and thought patterns with healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and living. My goal is to empower you to build confidence, increase self-awareness, and move toward the life and relationships you deserve—one meaningful session at a time. At Candor and Hope Therapy, we believe in C.A.R.E.S.—Candor, Acceptance, Respect, Empowerment, and Sincerity—because your healing journey deserves nothing less. Our mission is to help you move from surviving to thriving, one session at a time. Visit www.candorandhopetherapy.com to learn more.
In our first session, we’ll focus on building trust and creating a safe, supportive space for you to share your story. I’ll gather background information about what brings you to therapy, and together we’ll clarify your goals and begin shaping a treatment plan. We’ll also discuss scheduling and set an estimated timeframe for progress—always at a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable for you.
I bring a culturally responsive, client-centered approach to therapy, combining evidence-based methods with flexibility to meet your unique needs. I focus on empowering individuals, couples, and families to build confidence, increase self-awareness, and create healthier patterns in their relationships and daily life. By blending relational insight, practical strategies, and genuine care, I strive to make therapy a safe, supportive space where meaningful growth and lasting change are possible.
My clients are individuals, couples, and families who are ready to transform the way they think, feel, and connect—with themselves and with others—so they can experience life more fully. I work especially well with self-starters, the “strong friend” who supports everyone else, and those navigating complicated or on-again/off-again relationships, situation-ships, loneliness, depression, or anxiety. I also support parents and caregivers who want to strengthen their parenting skills, deepen their understanding of their children and young adults, and cultivate more harmonious family dynamics.
I use CBT to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. My goal is to equip clients with practical tools to manage emotions, solve problems, and create positive, lasting change.
I use Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients understand relationship patterns, build trust, and create healthier connections with themselves and others. My goal is to guide individuals, couples, and families toward greater self-awareness, emotional security, and more fulfilling relationships.
I use DBT to help clients manage intense emotions, cope with stress, and build healthier relationships. Through practical skills and supportive guidance, I help clients create lasting changes in how they think, feel, and respond.
I use couples therapy to help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen emotional connection. My approach focuses on identifying patterns that create tension, fostering understanding and empathy, and teaching practical strategies to strengthen the relationship. By combining evidence-based techniques with a supportive, collaborative environment, I guide couples toward healthier interactions, stronger intimacy, and shared goals for a more fulfilling partnership.
I use Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach emphasizes empathy, genuine understanding, and unconditional positive regard, helping clients build self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence to make meaningful changes in their lives. By fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I guide clients toward personal growth and more fulfilling connections with themselves and others.

I was looking for a Black woman and someone who also had a spiritual side to her help I didn't know it at the time I picked her but I also needed a mom. She is all of those things. In talking to her I don't feel judged. She is very easy to talk to and I like that. I am a talker and she didn't make me feel like I was talking too much or that I was a horrible person for what I had done. She has been open and honest and I like that. She also relates a lot back to scripture and I needed that.
