I pride myself on being a comfortable and welcoming space for clients to express themselves and explore their future. My approach is soft and gentle when needed however, straight-forward and accountable when necessary. I often laugh with my clients when appropriate and this makes our sessions and rapport built GREAT!

I became a mental health professional after my pure desire and God-given gift to support people and help them grow and flourish.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, sound healing classes, and attending concerts!
Working out! I enjoy lifting weights and often connect when family and friends when needed as a break for emotional and mental self-care.
I am a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., a historical Black Sorority based on Sisterhood, Scholarship, Service, and Finer Womanhood. We are known for providing community support through service to low-income and low resourced communities!
I sit in solitude when needed, go to the beach, ground, meditate, and have a good time with friends. God is also very important to me and is a source of energy!
Yes! I have a cat named Nipsey, (named after Nipsey Hussle). She's a fire cracker yet so sweet!
