I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to help adolescents, teens, and adults work through a variety of mental health and life challenges. With over four years of experience, I have had the opportunity to work with clients from all age groups, backgrounds, and presenting problems. I work to ensure a safe environment where my clients’ boundaries, identities, and preferences are acknowledged and respected. As a Black female therapist, I understand the importance of culturally responsive care and am committed to creating an inclusive space where every client feels seen and supported. I also see clients by video. Please note that many children cannot focus adequately during online sessions, and you will probably want to talk to me before our session if your child is under 16 years old.

Work History: I earned my Masters in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. I have worked in a school setting, helping kids set attainable goals for themselves and find the motivation to reach them. I also had the opportunity to work with survivors of brain injuries in a mock-work environment to help them prepare for their future and practice daily skills. I have worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting, mainly with children and teens. During this time, I provided case management and facilitated groups. I have two years of experience in intensive in-home counseling, outpatient therapy, and clinical assessments.

Personal: In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, writing, and watching movies. I am always open to learning new things and am currently working on my French skills. I enjoy anime, getting tattoos, spending time with my pets, and laughing.
