Therapy is a process of exploration, development, and, sometimes, great change. I am honored to walk with individuals who enter into a therapeutic relationship with me as they grow into more aware and confident versions of themselves.

Growing up in a multigenerational African American household I heard a lot about familial and societal issues that I did not present and overheard them. Children are often described as silent witnesses. Life happens around them with very little explanation. Sometimes no explanation is needed, but what about those moments when it is?
