- LCPC
I am a licensed and nationally board-certified clinical professional counselor. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University, and I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Criminal Justice at North Carolina Wesleyan University. Additionally, I earned my Master of Business Administration at the University of Maryland and have over 20 years of experience in project management and business operations.
I’m a native and resident of Gorgeous Prince George’s and a proud graduate of Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland. I’m also a member of the Maryland Counseling Association and the American Counseling Association.
My primary focus is on diversity, inclusion, and equity for underrepresented and marginalized communities in the mental health field. I incorporate various interventions to help clients successfully reorganize their approach to problems, identify and stabilize their emotions, and develop concrete skills for eliminating stress and resolving conflict.
As a multidisciplinary professional, I see clients in private practice, outpatient mental health clinics, and correctional facilities. I also teach communication and problem-solving skills to couples. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I create an open space for all my clients. I work with my clients to create a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
