My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own personal challenges. Growing up, I faced abuse, poverty, and abusive relationships, and even survived an attempt to end my life. I didn’t have the support I needed at the time, so I decided to become the person I needed back then—a source of compassion, strength, and guidance for others going through their own struggles.
As a therapist, my approach is person-centered, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TFCBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and eclectic methods tailored to each individual. Every client has their own story and needs, which is why I create individualized treatment plans based on their preferences and thorough assessments. My style is direct yet caring, and I provide professional support to help clients find healing in their own way.
I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+, BIPOC communities, and individuals who struggle with depression and trauma. I believe in the power of autonomy, honesty, genuineness, and authenticity. These core values guide me in creating a therapeutic space where clients can feel safe and empowered to explore their emotions and experiences.
What I love most about my work is helping people realize that everything they need to heal and grow is already within them. I’m simply here to help them uncover that truth. Therapy with me feels like home—my clients often describe our sessions as feeling more like talking to a friend than anything else.
I am always committed to growing as a therapist, continually seeking new certifications and training. Most recently, I became a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and I’m always eager to expand my skills to better serve my clients.
When I’m not working, you can find me playing guitar, hanging out with my girlfriend, or spending time with my three dogs and two cats. I also enjoy creating content, spending time with my twin and niece, and supporting my community through protesting and offering free mental health support. I’m passionate about destigmatizing therapy and mental illness, particularly within the Black community.
