- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationships, and personal growth. My approach centers on empowering clients to develop self-love, discover their life purpose, and cultivate healing through compassionate guidance.
Drawing from my professional background, I offer expertise in addressing relationship dynamics, grief, self-esteem challenges, career difficulties, and significant life changes. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming space where you can explore your experiences and strengths.
My therapeutic practice is rooted in understanding the nuanced experiences of Black individuals and people of color, bringing cultural sensitivity and deep empathy to our work together. I believe in supporting clients as they develop resilience, practice self-forgiveness, and move toward more authentic, meaningful lives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
