As the Chief Financial Officer, I oversee all of the financial operations. It is important to me to ensure that the practice remains financially strong while supporting accessible and high-quality care. The company’s long-term stability and growth is my main focus. Helping and supporting others is one of my core values that I look forward to sharing with A Path to Peace.

With a strong passion for mental health and a commitment to assisting clients with their mental health needs, I am dedicated to helping our clients embark on their path to peace. As the first point of contact at our practice, I strive to ensure smooth operations by providing exceptional support to both therapists and clients. My goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable and supported from their initial interaction with the practice. I am proud to be a part of A Path to Peace and look forward to continuing to provide exceptional administrative support, contributing to the success of the practice and its clients. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, engaging in various activities that help me maintain a balanced life and enhance my ability to support others effectively. I am committed to making a positive first impact and supporting clients on their journey towards mental health and well-being.

Originally from Lithonia, Georgia, I’m stepping into the mental health field with purpose, heart, and a deep commitment to the work. As an Administrative Assistant, I bring more than just organization. I bring warmth, intention, and a genuine passion for supporting mental wellness. With a natural ability to connect with people and an eye for detail, my goal is to help create a space where every person feels welcomed, respected, and seen. I believe admin work isn’t just behind-the-scenes, it’s foundational. It’s about setting the tone, holding space, and being part of a team that centers healing and community care. As I grow in this role, I’m excited to keep learning, show up with purpose, and be a part of something that truly aligns with my values.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s in Counseling and National Certified Counselor (NCC) credentials. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. My ideal clients are those seeking a safe, affirming space to heal, grow, and reconnect with their inner strength. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from CBT, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused techniques. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients, fostering a collaborative and empowering environment. I offer virtual-only sessions and provide evening appointments to support busy lives and diverse schedules. What makes me unique is my passion for working with high-achieving, driven individuals who appear successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Many of my clients have never learned how to truly rest, and don’t even know what that looks like. I help them redefine success, not just as achievement, but as peace, presence, and emotional freedom. One amazing thing about me? I specialize in helping high performers slow down, reconnect with themselves, and discover that rest is not weakness, it’s a radical act of self-care.

My journey into counseling and mental health support began several years ago. While the settings and populations I’ve worked with have evolved, one thing has remained constant: my deep commitment to helping individuals reach their full potential. I strive to build genuine, supportive relationships with my clients, connections that serve as the foundation for healing, growth, and lasting transformation. I work with individuals from diverse communities and backgrounds who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, personal growth, and life’s many adjustments and changes. My goal is to provide a space where every person feels seen, supported, and empowered in their journey toward wellness. I believe that through honest self-reflection and a willingness to embrace change, we open ourselves up to a life of possibility and purpose. This belief guides my work and fuels my dedication to creating safe, affirming spaces for individuals to explore, process, and move forward. I hold a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from Morgan State University, along with a Master of Arts in Counselor Education: College Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, both from Western Michigan University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan and Maryland, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a trained Clinical Supervisor. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I integrate concepts from foundational and advanced Trauma Informed Training as well as Mindfulness-Based Therapy, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support healing and personal development. Above all, I am here to walk alongside you, offering a space that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in your goals.

From a young age, I naturally stepped into the role of peacemaker listening, supporting, and helping others navigate life’s challenges. My own personal journey of seeking counseling, including 17 years in a difficult marriage and healing from generational trauma, led me to discover a powerful truth: We can only operate with the tools we’ve been given, until we learn new ones. My mission is to help individuals and couples build healthier emotional tools that lead to healing, clarity, and lasting peace. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of Arizona and a Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies from Purdue Global. I’m currently pursuing full licensure as a Limited License Psychologist (LLP). My additional training includes certifications in Human Trafficking Awareness and Michigan Implicit Bias. I provide therapy for adults, teens, and couples, through both in-person and telehealth sessions. I offer flexible scheduling, including evening appointments. My therapeutic style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and solution-focused techniques. I specialize in working with clients who have felt overlooked, misunderstood, or hesitant about starting therapy. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly seen and supported. I believe that therapy isn’t just about clinical techniques, it’s about truly witnessing someone’s story. Pain doesn’t always show up loudly; sometimes it hides behind silence, sarcasm, or a smile. I help clients uncover the root of that pain in a way that feels safe, respectful, and empowering. If you're ready to break generational cycles, build emotional resilience, and start living with more intention and peace, I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

Choosing therapy is a brave and personal decision. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of support, you’ve already taken an important first step and you don’t have to face this alone. I have over 15 years of experience, dedicated to helping individuals, especially within the black community, navigate life’s challenges and break through the stigma surrounding mental health. I believe healing is possible for everyone, and I’m committed to making therapy more accessible and relatable, particularly in underserved communities. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and build tools that align with your strengths, values, and goals. I work with adults and school-aged clients navigating issues like anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Our work will always be tailored to your needs, often incorporating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you, it’s about supporting you as you reconnect with your power, your purpose, and your path. Virtual sessions are available in the afternoons and evenings. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to support you. You are worthy of healing, growth, and care. You don’t have to do this alone!

I am a therapist who truly believes that growth starts the moment you decide you’re ready for something different. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, major life changes/transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and women’s issues, but most importantly, people who are ready to heal and do the work to feel better. Currently, I offer virtual therapy sessions only. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as your full self. No filters, no judgment, no shame, I will meet you where you are. Together, we’ll unpack what’s been weighing on you, explore patterns that no longer serve you, and build practical tools you can use in your everyday life. Typically, my treatment modalities consist of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy but I tailor my approach to fit you. I understand that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I value creating a space that feels supportive, real, and empowering. I’ve always had a genuine passion for helping people feel good about themselves and find peace within their lives. I believe that taking time to nurture your mind is one of the most powerful acts of self-care you can make. So, if you’re ready to grow as a person, gain clarity, and feel more at peace within yourself, I’d love to walk alongside you on that journey.

"Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start." – Nido Qubein As a therapist, I believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to be heard, understood, and empowered to grow. My journey into therapy began as a teen, when I struggled to find a therapist who truly understood me or reflected my lived experience. That feeling of being unseen shaped my purpose: to create a welcoming environment where people feel accepted, valued, and encouraged to discover who they are. I work with teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and identity exploration. My ideal client is someone ready to grow even if they don’t quite know where to start. I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, Person-Centered Therapy, and solution-focused strategies. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, with a balance of meaningful work and authentic connection. I also believe healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I like to bring personality, humor, and realness into sessions because growth can include both breakthroughs and moments of lightness. I am available virtually Monday through Thursday from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM, as well as Saturday mornings from 8:00 AM 10:00 AM as needed. I want to ensure my clients receive the best service possible while also respecting that time is valuable for all of us, so I ask for mindfulness and consideration when it comes to scheduling. What makes me unique as a therapist is my philosophy that therapy isn’t just about solving problems, it's about helping people uncover their true selves and find their greater purpose in life. I am passionate and open to working with everyone because I believe all people deserve safety, understanding, and space to grow. My clients often describe me as approachable, empathetic, and genuinely invested in their journey. If you’re looking for a therapist who is relatable, understanding, and deeply committed to your growth, not just someone to “talk at you” then I may be the right fit. Together, we’ll work to build clarity, confidence, and tools that empower you to live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Suffering from anxiety, depression, childhood trauma or life just keeps giving you lemons? Then, I am the therapist for you.

If I sound like I might be the right fit for you, I work with both teenagers and adults of all genders, and I offer appointments virtually and in person.
