Working with me means you don't have to edit yourself before walking through the door. I work with adults across New York who are navigating trauma, grief, postpartum struggles, OCD, identity, and the exhaustion that comes from surviving things most people don't talk about out loud. My clients often tell me they've spent years feeling like "too much" - too emotional, too complicated, too much history. My job is to be the one who's not overwhelmed by any of that. I'm a Black woman clinician, and I bring that lived lens into my work with intentionality, not as a side note. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are - and also gently challenge you when you're ready - you're in the right place.
I enjoy helping people. Working in diverse settings and with diverse populations has added to my experience. I believe every day is a gift that brings opportunities to heal, grow and learn together. Healing is a beautiful journey we will take together. I am also focused on Christian counseling and incorporating clinical skills that support your journey.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in the mental health field for more than 15 years, in acute inpatient psychiatric care and as a psychiatric liaison consultant, primarily in the emergency room setting with a focus on crisis intervention.

Today, I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapy for individuals experiencing a range of mental health concerns.
