We listen, act, and transform
I graduated from West Chester University with a BA in Psychology, going on to obtain my master’s degree in counseling psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have worked in many different areas such as family-based therapy, outpatient, and partial hospitalization.
I am a certified clinical trauma professional. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, holistic therapy, art and music to help you work through depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, parenting, relationships, and school struggles. I provide educational sessions around puberty, getting your period, and sexual education.
I founded Melanin Mommy Therapy with Black Women at the forefront. As a Black Women, we often identify with the feeling of failing when in reality, we are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and so much more. Many people may look at the Black Woman and automatically place her at the bottom of the totem pole and I say that is because we as Black Women are the foundation of so much. We carry so much on our shoulders while being told to be strong and pray on it.
I founded Melanin Mommy Therapy because I wanted to provide a safe space for Black Women. Many times, when Black Women seek out support, they end up becoming the educators and unable to truly process their feelings.
