Licensed Professional Counselor in District of Columbia

About My Clients

I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. My ideal clients are those who are ready to explore their emotions, build self-awareness, and create meaningful change. I am passionate about supporting clients from diverse backgrounds, and I believe in fostering a compassionate, non-judgmental space where healing and growth can unfold.

My Background and Approach

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of experience, I offer a warm, open-minded, and direct approach to therapy. I specialize in helping clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. By utilizing practical strategies, I assist individuals in overcoming challenges, fostering self-awareness, and creating lasting positive change. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each client’s unique needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am deeply committed to inclusivity, empathy, social justice, and mental health advocacy. I actively support LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, mental health awareness, and the fight against domestic violence, abuse, exploitation, and human trafficking. Through my voice, writing, and social media platforms, I strive to raise awareness and advocate for those who need it most. I sit on the Board of Directors for a nonprofit focused on supporting Black women affected by domestic violence and abuse. As a Black, gay individual, I bring a unique perspective that allows me to deeply empathize with those who have been oppressed, marginalized, or mistreated. These values shape my approach to therapy, where I create a safe, supportive space for individuals to explore their experiences, heal, and feel empowered. I am passionate about helping clients embrace their true selves and find strength in their identity.
