Introduction

I was called to this work when my son was diagnosed with a severe mental illness. As an African American family, we often faced judgment—his tall stature shaped how he was seen before anyone heard his story. Navigating the mental health and legal systems became a personal mission—and that experience ignited my passion for supporting individuals, families, and caregivers who feel overwhelmed, lost, or unsure where to turn. You are not alone. Life can be heavy sometimes. I offer a safe, supportive space to help you manage stress, heal from trauma, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and gain tools for lasting change. Specialties and Focus Areas: • Anxiety, depression, and trauma • Adjustment to chronic illness or injury • Caregiver support and life transitions • Couples and family therapy • Culturally responsive and faith-sensitive care. Together, we’ll also work to understand the mental health system, advocate effectively for your loved ones, and make space for your own well-being in the process. When you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule a session. Your healing journey starts here—and we’ll walk it together.
