About me

Professional Overview
I am an intuitive psychotherapist and hold a master’s degree in Professional Counseling and have been in practice 14 years with clinical experience ranging from private practice settings to college and university counseling centers. My postgraduate education includes doctoral training at Spelman College, Georgia State, and Georgia Tech Universities.

Business Professionals & Entrepreneurs
I offer specialized counseling services tailored for business professionals and entrepreneurs dedicated to providing heart-centered services to their communities. I recognize that those who lead with compassion and purpose often face unique interpersonal challenges, particularly when it comes to communication styles and relational patterns.

My approach supports clients in working through unresolved emotional wounds that may be impacting business partnerships, personal relationships, or both. By identifying and transforming these underlying dynamics, I empower clients to cultivate healthier, more successful, and fulfilling personal and professional connections.

Relationship Counseling
I view relationships as dynamic partnerships, whether romantic or otherwise, that require intentional care, communication, and collaboration. Just like business partnerships, cultivating emotional safety, a vision of shared goals, and clear compassionate communication is crucial to a successful and healthy relationship dynamic.

Treatment Approach
I bring a unique blend of Psychodynamic, Attachment-Based, and Emotionally-Focused therapy techniques, along with the Gottman Method, one of the most research-supported and effective approaches to individual therapy. This evidence-based framework helps clients recognize and shift negative interaction patterns, improve communication skills, and strengthen emotional connection. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals of diverse sex, gender, and relationship identities, including but not limited to the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.

Whether you are an entrepreneur seeking to enhance professional collaboration and leadership, working through recurring conflicts and betrayal, or striving to deepen intimacy and trust-I am committed to helping you create resilient, authentic, and successful relationships in all areas of life.
