Hello, I am a licensed (in DC, MD & VA) clinical psychologist with over 15 years of professional experience. As a clinician, i leverage strength based therapy to improve the emotional health, specifically of African Americans.

My personal and professional background, from growing up in Montgomery County, attending Spelman College, and working in a wide variety of organizations ranging from a black woman-owned private practice to a Military facility, has provided me with a diversity of experiences and perspectives, which I apply to my work as a therapist. I understand the unique challenges African Americans face, both personally and professionally, and have structured my practice to integrate these experiences into the healing process, which both validates our experiences and  builds on our strengths.

Combining tele-behavioral health, with a treatment method tailored to the African American experience, I strive to remove barriers to treatment and debunk the existing stigmas related to therapy within the African American community. Ultimately, I will work to give you the confidence that things can improve, the competence to allow them to, and the hope that they will.
