As a Black woman, I understand how hard it is to live authentically in a society that makes you feel like you aren’t enough. Much like in my everyday life, I provide a non-judgmental approach to therapy; creating a safer space for you to be your whole self, unapologetically. I provide services that are culturally sensitive in order to create an atmosphere of acceptance specific to the individual needs of every client.Â
