Female

Hi there! It’s great to meet you all! I’m a certified therapist specializing in Telemental Health, and Grief. As a woman of color, I deeply understand the unique challenges that BIPOC adults face in today’s world. Whether it’s dealing with societal expectations or the weight of racial and gender biases, I’m here to walk alongside you and provide the support you need.My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, grief, racial trauma, and even career exploration. My aim is to empower you to create positive changes in your life.

I believe in a strengths-based approach to therapy, where we work together to identify your unique strengths and use them to tackle challenges effectively. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe thoughts and behaviors, offering you practical techniques for problem-solving, stress management, and making lasting behavioral changes. Our sessions are goal-oriented and may even include some homework to practice what we discuss.

At the heart of my philosophy is collaboration. Think of us as partners on this journey—I'm here to provide the tools and support, but you’re the one who charts your own path to growth and transformation. Just like an architect who helps you design a structure rather than building it for you, I empower you to carve out your own success. Together, we’ll establish a solid foundation so you can face future challenges with confidence and your own unique strategies. I can’t wait to start this journey with you!

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
