If you’re tired of carrying everything on your own, constantly overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling like you have to hold it all together for everyone else, you’re not alone. I work with teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, life transitions, and the messy process of figuring out who they are outside of survival mode. I have a particular passion for working with Black women, LGBTQ+ folks, trauma survivors, and anyone learning how to take up space without guilt. My approach is warm, collaborative, and honest. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are, whether that means laughing, crying, venting, questioning everything, or admitting you have no idea where to start. I will absolutely validate your experiences, but I also believe growth happens when we gently challenge the patterns that are no longer serving you. My goal is to help you better understand yourself while building the confidence to move through life in a way that feels more authentic and aligned. As a Black woman, I understand that our struggles don’t happen in a vacuum. The ways we experience relationships, trauma, stress, identity, and mental health are often shaped by our families, communities, cultures, and larger systems. I strive to create a space where you don’t have to shrink yourself, code-switch, mask, or explain your humanity in order to be understood. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with compassion while recognizing the strengths and survival skills that helped you get this far. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care and draws from CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, somatic approaches, and EMDR-informed interventions. Whether we’re processing difficult experiences, exploring relationship patterns, strengthening boundaries, or rebuilding self-worth, I tailor therapy to fit your goals rather than expecting you to fit into a specific model.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who works primarily with college students, graduate students, and young adults dealing with ADHD, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, sleep problems, academic stress, executive functioning difficulties, and feeling overwhelmed by everything they are trying to manage at once. I provide both therapy and medication management, depending on your goals. A lot of students I meet are smart, capable, and trying hard, but still feel like they are barely keeping up. They may be procrastinating more, having trouble focusing, falling behind, feeling constantly anxious, or wondering why things seem harder for them than for other people. Usually, that is not a sign that you are lazy or bad at life. It is more often a sign that something needs support. Meeting with me does not mean you have to take medication. It means you will have space to talk through what has been going on, better understand your options, and decide what feels right for you. I am a teacher by nature, so I try to make the process feel clear, and not overwhelming. My goal is to help you understand what is going on in your brain and body so things feel less mysterious and more manageable. I offer longer appointments, can usually see new clients within one week, and provide a complimentary 15-minute consultation if you would like to see whether we might be a good fit. I frequently work with college students and young adults across Southeast Michigan, including those connected to the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Oakland University, and surrounding college communities. In-person and virtual options are available.
