About

You’re insightful, high-functioning, and exhausted from holding it all together. I work with people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples navigating anxiety, low mood, identity stress, relationship strain, and the emotional toll of racism and major life transitions. My approach is culturally responsive, African-centered, and evidence-based. Therapy with me is grounded, direct, and practical. We slow the noise, name what’s true, and build skills for steadier emotions, clearer boundaries, and healthier relationships that last. I offer culturally responsive, African-centered, evidence-based therapy for people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and Gottman-based tools, we focus on calmer moods, clearer boundaries, stronger communication, and practical skills you can apply immediately in daily life.
