I am a black therapist who understands and relates to the plight of BIPOC individuals. Through a holistic and integrative approach, I support and guide individuals in becoming their most authentic selves. I support assuming accountability for the client's healing process by embracing daily stressors, injustices, imposter syndrome, and family dynamics.
Whether it’s current circumstances or unresolved emotions from your past, you always have the power to recreate your narrative and take accountability for your healing. I have always been passionate about servicing BIPOC communities. Through my experience in inpatient, outpatient, residential, and hospital settings, I saw that people have suffered through systemic oppression and having their voice stifled or overlooked in spaces where they make the most impact. I strive to create a space that provides validation, advocacy, safety, and empowerment to help individuals and families find their voice and power toward being their most unapologetic self. Through formal education at the City College of New York, I obtained my MA in mental health counseling; I then became licensed by the states of New York and New Jersey. I have since worked on additional training courses around anti-racist work, perinatal disorders, and trauma, which helps support and guide my work with individuals.

I wake up in the morning and enjoy 10-15 mins of solitude (skincare, face wash, and stretching) before I prepare my children for school.
I am a fan of both Bell Hooks and Chimamanda. They discuss the physical and emotional well being of both BIPOC populations.
