About me
I was fortunate to be born and raised in the greatest city on earth: Atlanta! I love the rich history, culture and music of my birthplace and know it will forever be the only place I call home. I am a proud graduate of Cornell University, where I obtained a bachelor's degree in history and Africana studies. After college, I entered the field of education and quickly felt a calling to do more to support children and families. My passion for helping others led me to the University of Chicago, where I received a master's degree in social work with an emphasis in family systems and trauma.
About my practice
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and includes both group and individual psychotherapy with adults. I have years of experience working with survivors of trauma with a particular interest in working with women and femme-identified individuals. I also enjoy working with individuals who are navigating relationship problems and desire to understand how they can better honor themselves while developing healthier connections with the people in their lives. I utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach which includes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, internal family systems, and mindfulness techniques. My belief is that you are the expert of your experience, and my role is to be a guide who offers both support and challenge on your journey. In our work together, I hope to help you remember what you already know deep inside: how to heal yourself.
How I thrive
I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou which says, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." Truer words were never spoken! I thrive through my supportive relationships with loved ones, reading, writing, yoga, movies, personal development and spiritual practices.
