I understand that each person’s journey is unique, so I make sure to tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. Let’s talk and figure out the best way forward for you. Take the first step and reach out today.

I will be there to listen and understand exactly where you are, without judgment, and empower you to live life the way you’ve always wanted to live. You are courageous; together we will channel that courage and inner strength to transform your thought patterns, build resilience and improve your overall mental health and well-being.

You might be carrying something hard to name — a persistent unease, a quiet fear that has settled around your daily life, memories that surface at awkward times, or a low-level despair that you can’t quite explain or shake. You may have told yourself it isn’t serious enough to deal with, or that therapy isn’t really for someone like you. I became a therapist specifically to reduce the stigma around mental health care in African American and communities of color. As well as professionals in leadership, early-career professionals, legal professionals, educators, healthcare workers, and college and graduate students.

Whether you're navigating the pressure of campus life, the uncertainty of early adulthood, or something heavier you haven't quite put words to yet — this is a space to show up exactly as you are. I blend person-centered therapy with CBT, Gestalt, and trauma-informed care, focusing on present-moment awareness and practical tools you can actually use day to day. My background as a Behavior Intervention Specialist also means I'm experienced supporting people with complex mental health needs and intellectual disabilities — and bringing that same concrete, grounded approach to everything I do. You don't have to earn your right to ask for help. Reach out today — let's build something steadier together. *Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Northwell Direct.

Life is hard. It’s a tricky thing that presents us with so many unique challenges and difficulties. Whether you're feeling stuck, alone or ready for change, I want to work with you to build a better life and become a better version of yourself. As a mental health counselor with five years of experience, I work with young adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship distress, life transitions, and identity issues. My mission is to help you discover and embody your best self while processing distressing situations. Oftentimes we find that we have difficulty figuring out how to work through our challenges, much less identifying them at all, so I walk alongside you to explore the root of the issue in order to find an effective and sustainable solution. Working with both couples and individuals to find healing, I approach my role as being a safe space for you to express yourself without fear of judgement, collaborating with you to find and work toward becoming the best version of yourself. To this end, therapy is centered on you and who you are, as you are the ultimate expert on who you are at your core.
