Bio
Sometimes you’re dealing with circumstances that are truly hard, and being told to “just cope” doesn’t feel helpful. I believe therapy should make room for the reality of what you’re going through while helping you find ways to move forward.
My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. We can explore what’s weighing on you, understand patterns that keep showing up, and work toward changes that feel meaningful in your everyday life. I value making space for conversations about identity, family expectations, relationships, and the pressure to meet everyone else’s needs. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.
As a Black woman from Detroit, I appreciate how our backgrounds, communities, and lived experiences shape the way we move through the world. I want to understand what matters to you and what support looks like in your life.
Outside of work, I enjoy music, creative projects, travel, and a good iced latte. I also love discovering a new fragrance—especially anything with vanilla, coconut, or marshmallow.
