Like many black families, we didn’t really talk about our emotions when I was growing up. My parents loved and provided for me, but I was often left to my own devices when it came to processing difficult emotions and experiences. It was very isolating, and I didn’t know how to regulate my feelings. As an adult, I’m here to support others who feel alone with their emotions like I did. My therapeutic style is highly client-centered. Based on your unique circumstances and goals, I’ll recommend the methods that I believe will best facilitate your healing and personal growth.

By offering therapy in ASL to the deaf and hard of hearing, as well as culturally competent therapy to BIPOC, I hope to support populations who typically don’t get enough attention from the mental health community. However, I truly enjoy working with clients from all walks of life. Whoever you are and whatever you’re facing, I would be honored to join you on your journey!
