My Story

As a Black woman deeply rooted in social justice, I believe something many of my clients were never taught:

You deserve to feel safe, heard, and understood without having to earn it.

Not just in the world, but within yourself.

Because a lot of what you are carrying right now did not start with you.
And that is where our work begins.

I specialize in helping adults who appear high functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. Through inner child healing, we begin to understand your reactions, your patterns, and the parts of you that learned how to survive, even when it cost you peace.

I hold a degree in Sociology from Oakland University and a Master’s in Counseling from Spring Arbor University, with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families.

My work includes support for:
• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
• Depression and burnout
• Relationship and attachment challenges
• Family dynamics and parenting
• Developmental disabilities, including individuals on the autism spectrum

I am also a Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional (QIDP), with a strong background supporting neurodiverse individuals and their families.

My approach blends evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Brainspotting with something deeper:

Helping you feel safe inside your own body.

Because awareness alone is not enough.
You need tools for the moment when you are triggered, overwhelmed, or shutting down.

That is why I integrate inner child work into everything I do. You are not just understanding your patterns, you are learning how to respond differently.

In couples work, I use the Gottman Method and Prepare and Enrich to help partners rebuild connection, improve communication, and create emotional safety. Whether you are preparing for marriage or feeling disconnected, we focus on creating a relationship that actually feels safe to stay in.

I provide therapy to individuals and couples across Michigan through telehealth, and also offer workshops, group therapy, and LPC supervision.

Most importantly, I help you learn how to stay with yourself instead of abandoning yourself in the moments you need you the most.

Because healing is not about becoming someone new.

It is about finally giving little you what they needed all along.
