I am a mental and emotional health advocate who strongly believes that mental/emotional wellness should be promoted and discussed more, especially in Black and Brown communities — we need it. I consider self-care to be the best care and believe the second that we choose to better ourselves, the world around us becomes better too. An uncommon level of strength is tapped into when people can acknowledge that they need help. Distinguishing the problem from the person, I strive to help people walk through the steps necessary to reach their happiest and most influential selves.

There is no human experience of sin nor suffering that God cannot redeem. As a pastoral counselor, I love walking alongside people as they witness this great reality shown to be true in their own lives through the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I often meet with people who have helplessly come to the end of themselves and relationships or who have lost hope in the power and presence of God in their lives. The good news is that these are the exact moments that God often uses to transform our brokenness into realities he calls beautiful.

Welcome to my practice! I was an ICU and ER nurse for many years before becoming a psychologist, and this experience gave me a unique understanding of the important role that healthy emotional functioning plays in our physical well-being and relationships. I specialize in the treatment of adults struggling with anxiety, heightened stress, grief, and interpersonal conflicts/crises. If attempts to resolve a personal problem have been unsuccessful or if conflicts in your relationship are ongoing, I seek to provide the personal support, insight and guidance needed to find a positive resolution, and the skills needed to live a healthier, more satisfying life.
