I am a clinical social worker licensed in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Florida, and Louisiana. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Anthropology with a minor in Studio Art from Florida International University. I earned my Master of Social Work degree at Hunter College and have over fifteen years of experience practicing in New York City.

My path to social work and clinical practice was deeply personal, shaped by my lived experience as a bicultural Black woman and former teen mom. I have a visceral understanding of the desire to overcome adversity, live authentically, and thrive. That insight informs how I show up in the therapy space: with empathy, attunement, and an unwavering respect for the humanity in each of us.

I am dedicated to the service of communities of color, with a special interest in supporting Black and Brown women navigating high-functioning anxiety and the pressures of perpetual resilience. My approach is integrative, collaborative, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and grounded in a multicultural framework. I’m committed to providing an identity-affirming and safe emotional context to engage the therapeutic process.

Together, we can work to shift anxiety-inducing and self-defeating patterns of thought and behavior so that you can harness the strengths already within you and move toward a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
