    You carry everybody’s burdens, including your own, and it’s becoming too much for you. You’re the person everyone comes to when they need something. You’re the person who’s responsible for everything and everybody. You’re feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, lonely, unappreciated, and so many other things that you haven’t been able to share with anyone. You’ve been feeling like this for months, maybe years, and you’re over it. You’re sick of worrying about what others will think and say and you’re ready to live your life on your terms.

    Women come to me feeling just like you. Together, we rebuild a life of joy, peace, and balance. I help you reduce stress, improve relationships or recover from a toxic relationship, and become comfortable in the skin you’re in without trying to make everybody else happy. As a Reality Therapist, I understand your past is important, but I focus on your present and future, giving you a safe, nonjudgmental space to process your thoughts and feelings, so you can identify solutions and make immediate changes to create a life that works for you.

    You've had therapy before, but you haven't had therapy like this!

    I am a nontraditional, real, honest, down-to-earth, inclusive, licensed therapist who isn’t afraid to challenge you. In sessions with me, you will laugh, you might cry, and you will become more assertive and more confident than you’ve ever been. I am your advocate and want you to live a life of peace with self-confidence and self-love, so I ask the tough questions and encourage self-exploration to help you become your best, authentic self.

    Why women work with me

    Women who come to me describe me as genuine, transparent, authentic, and caring. I’m a therapist, but I’m human first. Black women and women of color don’t tell our business. What goes on in our house stays in our house, right ladies? I’ve been there. As a Black woman, I understand your struggle. The choice to even seek out therapy was a struggle. My goal is to help you see that by coming to therapy, you aren’t “telling your business.” You are taking control of your mental and emotional health. Let me teach you how to say no without guilt and yes without fear.

    “No other love, no matter how genuine it is, can fulfill one’s heart better than unconditional self-love.”

    My Guiding Principles & Core Values

    AUTHENTICITY

    Encourage a real relationship with you that allows anything and everything to be discussed without judgment.

    HONESTY

    Committed to being straightforward with you, even when it might be uncomfortable, to help you become your authentic self.

    VULNERABILITY

    Not afraid to admit I don’t know everything and will self-disclose when necessary to help you explore and identify solutions to your challenges.

    I am trained in a multitude of strategies and you will work with me to not only set goals, but to help you determine which strategies will help you reach them. 

    Reality/Choice Therapy

    The goal of Reality/Choice Therapy is to solve problems, rebuild connections, and begin working toward a better future. It focuses on the present and focuses energy on changing thoughts and behavior. I work with you to figure out what you want and how to change your current behavior to bring you closer to your goals.

    Solution Focused Brief Therapy

    A collaborative approach that concentrates on finding solutions in present time and exploring your hope for the future to find a quicker resolution of presenting problems. This method teaches you what you need to do in order to improve your life, and with the appropriate coaching and questioning, you will be capable of finding the best solutions.

    Person Centered Therapy

    You are encouraged to take more of a lead in discussions, so in the process, you will discover your own solutions. I am a compassionate therapist, listening without judgment, and acknowledging your experience. I am there to encourage and support you and to guide the therapeutic process without interrupting or interfering with your process of self-discovery.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    This form of psychotherapy treats problems and boosts happiness by modifying dysfunctional thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I help you focus on solutions, encouraging you to challenge distorted thinking and change negative patterns of behavior.
