I’m a trauma-informed therapist with over 8 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across hospitals, schools, residential treatment, private practice, and telehealth IOP settings. I specialize in depression, PTSD, and complex trauma, with a focus on BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, offering coaching, concierge, couples, individual, family and group therapy.

My approach blends evidence-based care (CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, IFS, Gottman-informed work) with warmth, honesty, and accountability — like working with someone who accepts you fully and still wants the best for your healing.

A Little More About Me

Healing has always been bigger than a job for me — it’s a way I move through the world.

Outside of the therapy room, I’m someone who believes deeply in community, creativity, and getting to the root of things. I’ve been giving out my Changing the World One Mind at a Time scholarship since 2019 because I know how powerful access can be. That scholarship exists to support future helpers, especially those coming from underrepresented backgrounds, because healing multiplies when we invest in people who will pour back into their communities.

I spend a lot of my time mentoring teens and young adults, volunteering with organizations that support foster youth, survivors, troubled or misunderstood kids, young women, members of the LGBTQ community, neurodivergent folks, and people who’ve spent too long being told they’re “too much” or “not enough.” Those experiences shape how I show up in therapy — with awareness, humility, and respect for lived experience.

Creativity keeps me grounded. I love music and any form of self-expression. I play guitar, go to live shows whenever I can, and create content with my twin as a way to connect, reflect, and normalize conversations about mental health. Movement has also been a big part of my work — I used to teach yoga groups for adolescents, and these days I’m humbly attempting to conquer pilates. Emphasis on attempting.

At home, I’m happiest spending time with my two dogs, Cody and Tatum, and doing my best at being a plant mom — though my plants would probably say I’m still learning. That’s kind of the point, though. Growth doesn’t require perfection. It requires patience, honesty, and care.

All of this shows up in my work. I’m straightforward, but I’m compassionate. I don’t believe in surface-level healing or just “coping better” while ignoring the root. Depression, trauma, and childhood wounds don’t happen in a vacuum — they live in our bodies, our relationships, our identities, and our nervous systems.

Whether I’m working with clients one-on-one, mentoring young people, or speaking to organizations and communities, the focus is the same: helping people heal from the inside out. That means understanding where patterns started, learning how to regulate emotions, and building a life that isn’t driven by survival mode.

This work is about more than therapy sessions. It’s about destigmatizing mental health, creating safer spaces, and reminding people that they are allowed to exist exactly as they are — and still want more for themselves.

If you’re looking for therapy that is honest, culturally aware, trauma-informed, and rooted in real-life understanding, this space was created with you in mind. And if you’re an organization looking for a speaker who can connect, educate, and speak truth with care — that’s work I’m honored to do, too.

I speak to people who are tired of surviving and ready to understand themselves differently.

My talks center trauma, depression, identity, attachment, boundaries, and emotional regulation — especially for Black women, Black men, Black LGBTQIA+ communities, and teens and young adults (14+) who struggle to open up, define who they are, or trust that their future can be different from their past.

This isn’t surface-level motivation. It’s grounded, trauma-informed education delivered with warmth, honesty, and respect — the kind of conversation that makes people feel seen and challenged to grow.

I offer keynotes, workshops, panels, and trainings for organizations, schools, workplaces, faith spaces, and community groups.
