I’m a Midwestern girl raised in a home adorned in Black art, music, literature, and culture. From Faith Ringgold on the walls, to Toni Morrison on the shelves, and old-school R&B spinning through the house, my upbringing instilled a deep pride in my heritage, and a love for storytelling, creativity, and community that still guides me today.

​

My academic path took a few turns—Nursing, and then Psychology at Fisk University, a master’s in Sociology, and ultimately a second master’s in Counselor Education—each step clarifying my calling to become a therapist. Through personal experiences, faith, and growth, I felt led toward soul-centered, culturally grounded mental health work.​

​

When I’m not in session, I’m creating, coloring, crocheting, listening to music, podcasts or audiobooks, or watching historical and sociocultural documentaries and classic Black sitcoms. I’m a proud member of

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., a wife to my best friend, a mama to one radiant daughter, a dog mom, and a caregiver in the sandwich generation—held up by strong women, deep friendships, and a whole lot of love.

MY "WHY"

​

I create for the Black women I sit with, walk with, and come from:

​

• Women seeking a deeper, safer relationship with themselves and others

• Women rebuilding friendships after rupture

• Mothers navigating postpartum identity shifts

• Daughters healing from shame-based upbringings

• Caregivers needing community and support

• Mothers choosing gentleness in cultures that weren’t gentle to them
