My StoryI'm a (LCSW/LICSW) therapist, offering therapy for women who are ready to stop living by default and start living by design.
I work with clients online throughout California and Washington.
My work is for women who are done making decisions from fear — and are ready to trust themselves, rebuild their confidence, and move through the world as who they actually want to be.
I specialize in trauma, relationships, and attachment — helping women understand not just what happened to them, but how it shapes their choices, their relationships, and their sense of self. Drawing on my training in the neurobiology of attachment and Interpersonal Psychotherapy, I work at the root. For clients needing more immediate relief from depression, anxiety, or trauma responses, I also bring my CBT certification to help build practical tools alongside the deeper work. You don't have to choose between feeling better now and healing at the root.
As a Black woman therapist, I bring clinical depth and lived understanding to this work. I've sat with professionals, creatives, caregivers, and leaders — each arriving with their own story, each leaving with a clearer, more grounded sense of who they are.
If you're looking for a space where your full self is welcome and the goal is a sense of self you can rely on, I'd love to connect.
