About me
I am a San Francisco native and cum laude graduate in psychology from Clark Atlanta University. I continued my education at the California School of Professional Psychology where I earned my master's degree and doctorate in clinical psychology. I have trained in a variety of settings including community mental health, outpatient addiction treatment, and hospitals such as UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital and Kaiser Permanente Napa Solano Area (NSA). As the youngest and only African American female psychologist at Kaiser Permanente NSA, I held a leadership position on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, facilitating quarterly trainings and workshops to develop and promote strategies and best practices within the realms of racial, social, sexual, and gender diversity. I also created the first middle school intensive outpatient program (IOP) servicing four clinics in the Kaiser Permanente NSA.
About my practice
I provide individual therapy to children and adolescents from 5-18 years old. I am trained in a variety of interventions, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and brainspotting. I have worked with clients presenting with various life challenges including complex trauma, mood disorders, interpersonal relationship difficulties, suicidal ideation, and self-injurious behaviors. I am a clinical certified anxiety treatment professional (CCATP), certified mindfulness informed professional (CMIP), and certified in dialectical behavioral therapy (C-DBT).
How I thrive
I am fueled by my passion for witnessing clients' journey towards self-awareness, love, and healing. I consider myself a "co-pilot" in therapy and work diligently to utilize my client's strengths, interests, and resiliency into their healing journey. I thrive and fill my cup by spending quality time with my family, participating in dance classes, and exploring delicious cuisine throughout Atlanta.
