“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – Carl Jung

​

As a Certified EMDR Therapist and trauma specialist, I dedicate my practice to supporting individuals navigating the complexities of childhood trauma, adverse childhood experiences, neglect, domestic abuse, assaults, ect. My expertise lies in treating PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), dissociation, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

​

I believe in walking alongside my clients on their healing journey, providing a calm, grounded, and compassionate presence. My approach is rooted in continuous learning—I am always in training to deepen my understanding and refine my skills to best serve those I work with.

​

In therapy, I create a safe and supportive space for clients to process their experiences. I offer individual therapy both in person and virtually, with EMDR exclusively provided in person to ensure the most effective application of this evidence-based modality.

​

What to Expect from Therapy with Me
Our work together begins by establishing trust and safety. I take a gentle, client-centered approach, allowing space for your story to unfold at your own pace. My role is not to lead but to journey with you—helping you uncover insights, build resilience, and foster self-compassion. Whether through EMDR or other therapeutic techniques, we will explore ways to create lasting healing and empowerment.

​

Beyond Therapy
Outside of my practice, I cherish spending time with my family, friends, and my husband. Looking ahead, I hope to expand my work into philanthropy, particularly in supporting women, women’s health, and the Black community.

​

If you are seeking a therapist who provides a calm, supportive, and insightful presence, I invite you to reach out. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
