I create a very safe and supportive presence for my clients; this enables individuals to be vulnerable, while learning how their behavioral patterns have continually been re-created from childhood. Inner child work unlocks the key to self compassion, self acceptance, and self love.
The winding road to maintaining self love is lifelong and I would be honored to take this journey with you.

Feeling stuck, disconnected, or frustrated and not sure why? You’re not alone.
Maybe your relationships aren’t what they used to be. Maybe your focus is all over the place. Or maybe you just feel like something is off, and it’s starting to affect your work, your energy, and your confidence.
I work with individuals who want more out of life but feel held back by something they can’t quite name. Whether it’s trauma from the past or symptoms of ADHD that were never addressed, we’ll figure it out—together. I provide long-term, results-driven therapy in a supportive yet challenging environment where you can finally start making sense of what’s going on.
With over 12 years of experience and dual Master’s degrees from Barry University, I bring both training and real-world perspective to our work. I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), and I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR—two powerful tools for working through trauma and getting out of survival mode.
My approach is straightforward and collaborative. We’ll identify the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that are interfering with your daily life and build a better framework that supports clarity, stability, and self-control.
I do this work because I’ve seen the transformations that are possible when individuals commit to the process. Therapy doesn’t have to be abstract or feel like guesswork; you’ll get a plan that fits who you are.
You don’t have to keep feeling this way. Book an intake session today and take the first step toward feeling like yourself again.

Do you ever feel like you’re five years old again, helpless to protect yourself? Maybe you think that as an adult you should be able to handle emotions more easily, but you are often unable to soothe yourself. That experience is more common than you think, and it frequently ties back to childhood experiences. It pains me to think of someone having to go through this alone, and it’s a big reason why I became a therapist. I’m passionate about helping people heal from the past, overcome their fears, and live up to their full potential. My role is to be your guide as you find ways to heal or effectively manage your symptoms.

Hi, I am a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on identity transformation! I work with those who feel the achievements are there, yet still feels misaligned in what you do versus who you truly are. This identity crisis shows up in subtle ways - the anxiety that greets you before meetings, the exhaustion from maintaining the "strong Black woman" image, the longing for relationships where you can finally be real.
I want you to know that transformation is possible. That having more alignment and authenticity in the way you show up is possible. In our work together, we'll move beyond just understanding why you code-switch or people-please and help your system find its way back to your truth using Internal Family Systems therapy.
Imagine walking into any room fully grounded in who you are. Picture making decisions from your core self, not from old wounds. It's time to transform your relationship with yourself - to heal those outdated identities and create a life that truly feels like yours.

In therapy, I counsel individuals, families, couples, and children. No matter how trivial an issue may seem, everyone has issues in life. If it is causing you emotional pain, that is a good reason to seek out help. I understand everyone has a different journey in their lives and I would like to assist you in your path to self-discovery and healing. Your issues may be stress, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or concern for a loved one. You are not alone and I am ready to help you explore strategies to help you improve your life. Each session is provided in a warm and compassionate environment.
I will ask you some questions so I can understand which issues you want to focus on. Therapy is a process of learning and the rewards are great. You will develop parts of yourself that you did not know existed. This will help you to become a better parent, partner, and best friend to yourself and your loved ones. Are you ready to take that step of self-discovery to become the best version of yourself? I want to guide you in your path to self-discovery, happiness, and peace.
I have been counseling clients for over 24 years and I work with all populations. My counseling modalities include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution-focused, and Person-Centered therapy. When I counsel children, I use all of these in addition to Play therapy. Many of the therapeutic issues we work together on are Self-esteem, relationships, communication, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, Social skills, and grief. I am a licensed therapist and have a Masters Degree in counseling. I have spent many years counseling children, adolescents, and adults. Although therapy may look different with each population, the process is equally meaningful in all sessions.
