Psychotherapist | New York | Telehealth

About Me

I work with adolescents, adults, and families who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional challenges, and life transitions. As an African American psychotherapist, I understand how cultural identity, lived experience, and systemic factors can shape mental health. My goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance.

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I strive to offer care that feels affirming, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your unique experiences and values.

Who I Support

I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating:

• Anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm
• Trauma and difficult life experiences
• Depression and mood-related concerns
• Life transitions and personal growth
• Clients seeking culturally responsive, inclusive care

My Approach

My therapeutic style is humanistic and integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices tailored to your individual needs. My work may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought patterns
• Narrative techniques to help you reframe your story and build meaning
• Mindfulness-based tools to support emotional balance and present-moment awareness
• Trauma-informed care that prioritizes safety, connection, and resilience

I believe healing begins with connection. Through curiosity, collaboration, and insight, therapy becomes a space for meaningful change, self-trust, and forward movement.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I enjoy reading, focusing on personal growth, and spending time with activities that help me recharge. I also enjoy interactive games like Jenga, card decks, and cup pong. In my free time, I’m interested in learning to play a musical instrument and value moments that allow me to relax, reflect, and reset.
