Welcome to KIN. If you're reading this, continue to listen to your inner voice guiding you through doubt, distrust, chaos, or uncertainty you currently face--self-directing before you've entered the session room. I've been practicing as a licensed psychotherapist for over 13 years, but that does not mean I am the expert of your experience. You are. Remember that I simply have a different lens through which you allow me to observe and treat what has brought you to psychotherapy or coaching in your effort to redirect and enjoy a 'softer', more manageable life. 

 

As a graduate of Howard University and New York University, my research and clinical experiences have extended to working with patients in academic institutions such as Howard University and the University of Pennsylvania, to city programs with the NYC Department of Education, to community and private mental health clinics across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and The Bronx. ​

 

My current specialty focus in private practice includes intersectional trauma, identity, and learned intimacy/ vulnerability in adults seeking long-term partnership who find difficulty being vulnerable, building emotional intimacy, may have histories of distrust or mistrust, and often, are trying their best to unlearn traumatic pasts that get in their way of enjoying a less chaotic and softer way of being with themselves or others. Common concerns reported include guardedness in relationships, anxiety and fearfulness, trauma, abandonment, and parental over-policing and restriction.
