As a dedicated therapist, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, challenges and growth. I specialize in working with women of color struggling with anxiety and depression. As a black woman, I understand how overwhelming life can feel, especially when juggling the weight of depression, anxiety, and the everyday challenges of life. For women of color, these struggles can feel even more isolating and complex, with cultural, societal, and personal pressures adding layers of difficulty.
I offer online individual therapy services drawing from various therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Motivational Interviewing (MI); identifying reasons for change and strengthening motivation and Strengths-Based therapy; focusing on positive attributes and abilities.
When you choose to begin therapy, you are taking a crucial step toward healing. I would be honored to work alongside you if you are ready to take this step.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
