MY "WHY"

I’ll never forget the day I sat in my own therapist’s office decades ago and heard eight words that would change the course of my life:

“You have the right to change your mind.”

MY STORY

At the time, my life looked great from the outside, but inside, it was a very different story. My marriage was deteriorating. And although I loved being a stay-at-home mom, I was overwhelmed raising five high-achieving children, each with unique personalities and needs. I was living in a small town very different from where I grew up, nearly 3,000 miles away from my family and friends, and feeling deeply isolated.

Depression and anxiety set in, and I wasn’t coping in healthy ways. In short, I was miserable.

Hearing those eight words from my therapist was like someone turning on a light. For the first time, I felt permission to reconsider the life I was living—and to imagine something different.

​

Eventually, I made the difficult decision to end my marriage, pack up my children, and move back across the country to be closer to my support system. It meant starting over from scratch, but it also opened the door to a new chapter. I returned to school and earned my master’s degree in what had always felt natural to me: offering support, perspective, and guidance when people need it most.

Today, that experience shapes the way I work with my clients

 I know firsthand how difficult it can be to question the direction of your life, and how powerful it can be to realize you have the freedom to choose something different.

My Approach

My therapeutic style is practical, supportive, and down-to-earth. Creating a space where clients feel comfortable speaking openly and honestly is very important to me. In our sessions, you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment.

EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

I often describe mental health counseling as my “third career.”

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Psychotherapist, and Life Coach, born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Human Communication Studies from Howard University and my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Loyola Marymount University.

​

Before entering the field, I spent several years working in the corporate world and nearly fifteen years as a wife and full-time mother of five. Those experiences, along with my professional training, have shaped the way I approach my work today.

​

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with diverse populations and a wide range of mental health concerns—from community mental health settings, to schools serving at-risk teens and young adults, to private practice.

​

Today, I specialize in helping women who are navigating major life changes or transitions gain clarity, overcome obstacles, and discover a direction that feels right for them.
