I approach counseling from a multifaceted viewpoint, with a passion for working with college students.. My clinical interests include relationships, personal growth/identity development, self worth/self esteem issues, career exploration and helping students manage their stress. I understand the competitive nature of state credentialing examinations and the pressure applicants face. I take a person centered, acceptance and commitment approach to therapy. Creating a positive, safe environment, while accepting what is behind and committing to moving forward.

As an African American woman, issues of diversity, equity and inclusion are integral as to lived experiences and clinical practice. To create a supportive and welcoming space, It is important to me that all differences are valued and respected with cultural humility and inclusivity.

I see supervision as a provision of a well rounded, nurturing and trusting experience.It is an honor for me to serve as teacher/consultant/counselor in the supervisee’s clinical process, and I strive to create a balanced and collaborative environment that allows the trainee to explore their strengths spurring them towards a healthy progression of growth in mental health and wellness arenas. I am passionate about self compassion and self care as it is vital to the development of a practitioner.
