Are you the strong friend who silently bears the weight of the world while yearning for a moment of peace amid the chaos of work and life?

Carrying the weight of the world in silence is a heavy burden and even the strong need a sanctuary. Sometimes we need help learning strategies to manage it all. It can be difficult to feel comfortable being vulnerable, and we may have even been taught that expressing our emotions means that we are weak. Well, that’s where I come in! I specialize in using evidence-based practices from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness based theories to help explore difficult emotions, harmful thought patterns, and to better manage stress and anxiety.

As a two-time HBCU grad with a BA in Psychology from Spelman College, and PhD in Clinical Psychology from Howard University, I am very passionate about Black mental health. I completed a nationally accredited pre-doctoral internship at Allegheny General Hospital and postdoctoral residency at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. I have clinical experience working in a variety of settings (e.g., hospitals, outpatient clinics, mental health startups), as well as with specialized populations including individuals with eating disorders and developmental difficulties like Autism and ADHD.

I’m a Cincinnati girl living in Houston, Texas. I love football (Who Dey!), traveling, trying new restaurants, watching a good tv show with a glass of wine (true crime and anything
suspenseful), singing/rapping along to my favorite music, spending time with friends and family, and indulging in all things Black girl magic.
