I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) with a background that doesn’t fit neatly into one box—and I think that makes me a better therapist. Before clinical work, I built experience in business and culinary arts, which taught me how people function under pressure, how culture shapes identity, and how much our relationship with food, work, and stress reflects our inner world. I bring all of that into the room. My focus is on building capacity—helping people develop practical tools to handle difficult emotions, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, stay present through discomfort, and reconnect with what matters most to them. As a biracial Black woman and avid traveler, my commitment to culturally responsive, inclusive care is personal, not just professional, and I actively work to make mental health support more accessible to those who have historically been underserved.
