As an African American woman of color, I know first-hand the unique issues of being a part of a population who has been marginalized.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with over 12 years of experience working with adolescents and adults within the mental health field. I have conducted individual and group therapy with individuals who may struggle with depression, anxiety, suicidal idealization, trauma, and grief.
I obtained my Doctorate degree in Philosophy from Walden University, Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling degree from Louisiana State University Health Science Center (LSUHSC), and a Bachelor's degree in Rehabilitation & Disability Studies from Southern University A&M College.

We each come to therapy searching for change, understanding, and relief. I believe counseling helps you accept what you cannot change and focus on what you can. Counseling is a personal journey to reach your goals, overcome struggles, and empower yourself. If you're ready to put in the work, I look forward to establishing a collaborative relationship with you.

Hard work isn’t just respectable – it often genuinely gets things done. It can pay the bills, help people at home, or move you up in the world.
So when being productive becomes an obsession, it’s a hard one to resist. But that’s where too much work comes with these risks.

Many people become single-handedly responsible for themselves and everyone around them, and avoid accepting help in return. They may even choose people who will ask for help but not give it. They may even turn down help often enough that people learn not to offer it, or may not say enough about themselves for people to even guess what their needs are.
Some kinds of work seem to create especially high rates of Burnout. The Department of Health & Human Services predicts these six problems cause it:
But for all the problems that Burnout can cause, what helps solve it? One or more of these 10 could help you:
