About

As a professional Social Worker with 30+ years of experience of which 15 years has been as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life’s complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients develop resilience, self-compassion, and meaningful strategies for personal growth. I bring a culturally responsive approach to addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions, with a deep commitment to empowering individuals to rediscover their inner strength and purpose.

My therapeutic work is grounded in understanding each person’s unique journey, particularly for Black and Christian clients seeking culturally affirming support. However, I maintain a diverse client caseload. All are welcome! I believe in creating a compassionate, judgment-free space where individuals can explore their emotions, heal from past experiences, and cultivate self-love and forgiveness.

Through collaborative and personalized therapeutic approaches, I aim to walk alongside my clients, honoring their individual experiences and supporting them in developing powerful coping skills and insights that foster genuine transformation and emotional well-being.

My middle name is flexibility. I offer services virtually with alternative session time slots available. Let’s discuss what works for you.
