Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing telehealth therapy in Alabama, Virginia, Florida, South Carolina, and Vermont. I have a passion for helping those in need find their inner strength and resilience. I believe we all have it within us to find solutions to our problems; sometimes we just need some guidance. If you are you at the point where saying "I just need to try harder" or "I used to be able to" is just not working, one small step is all it takes to begin the process of change. I strive to provide my clients with a safe and respectful environment where they feel comfortable exploring their life experiences. I offer an integrative, client-centered approach to meeting my client's needs and work in a collaborative nature to build a strong, therapeutic relationship. I am interested in the mind/body connection and encourage my clients to aspire to wellness in all areas of their lives. Reach out today and we can explore together!!

My practice assists Black clients across North America who are impacted by a range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, and depression through a racially-sensitive treatment approach. We also work with individual clients seeking to improve their self-concept by understanding and processing the impact of historical and generational racial trauma on their relationships with themselves, their families, their friends, and their partners. I am a therapist who strives to fully understand my clients and their needs to create an optimized approach to meet their goals. I specialize in working primarily with individual adult clients to help them deal with issues such as infidelity, communication, stress management, anger management, relationship building, sexuality, etc. At Yolo Therapy, our ultimate goal is the well-being of our clients. For various reasons, many clients are unable to access traditional therapy settings but I do not believe that should prevent them from receiving exceptional services. I have catered my practice to the needs of those who need alternative options to therapy and am here to help you. ****Please note: Your initial session is ONLY TO ASSESS FOR THERAPEUTIC COMPATIBILITY. ****

“The journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step”. This is my philosophy behind therapy. My role as your therapist is to help you undo negative patterns in your life that keep you from thriving. As your therapist, I will function as the navigation while you remain the driver. My role in the therapeutic relationship is to empower my clients to identify current patterns that may be unhealthy, process them, and create new patterns to enhance their life. Once my client is able to identify the core problem causing their negative patterns, we will work to implement new patterns to improve the overall functioning of you: the client. I like to remind my clients that they are the “expert” in their own lives and I enjoy reminding my clients that they are in charge of their journey. If you are ready for the challenge, then I am ready to support you on your journey.

I worked in this field for several years, along with various training, to assist clients in different areas. In the last several years, I worked in a mental health hospital with adolescents, substance abuse, and crisis intervention in various settings. People with trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia were some of the people I helped at work. I worked with individuals on career choices to increase their career paths to maximize success. I support individuals in their desire to become independent, and I do this by helping them identify their true potential.

Welcome! I came to this work a little differently than some. After spending 16 years in my first career, I found myself sitting across from a therapist for the first time. That experience changed my life. It gave me not only a new perspective on myself but also a deep desire to help others in the same way. So, I made a big leap: I went back to school to become a therapist myself. Since then, it’s been over two decades of meaningful, often humbling work. I spent 21 years in community-based mental health and substance abuse treatment, and I was fortunate to serve as a contracted therapy provider for the Department of Defense—work that gave me a profound respect for the strength and resilience of those who serve. I’ve also worked in private group practice and provided therapy in intensive outpatient programs in Canada, gaining experience with a wide range of individuals and challenges along the way. In November 2021, I opened my own private practice. It’s been an incredible privilege to support individuals and couples in this more personal setting, and I truly value the relationships I build with each client. If you’re considering therapy, I want you to know you're not alone—and change really is possible.
