As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I’m here to help you to reach your goals and dreams. But first, we meet. We take time to get to know each other. We build trust. Then we work to uncover your strengths so you can step into your most optimal self.

I provide culturally attuned therapy for women, their partners, and people of color—including professionals and creatives seeking healing, self-care, and personal growth. I specialize in supporting anxiety, trauma, and stress management, and offer virtual and in-person counseling to help you break generational cycles and prioritize mental wellness. I am licensed in New York and New Jersey.

My approach integrates expressive arts modalities such as Biblio / Poetry Therapy and Transformative Language Arts to make meaning of experiences, identity and relationships, explore how culture and systems inform emotional well-being, and to navigate grief, trauma and stress, and improve couples and family dynamics. I am trained Brainspotting and The Gottman Method for couples therapy, and certified in EMDR.

I hold a Master’s in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, and a Master's in Health Arts & Sciences from Goddard College in Vermont. As a trained Health Coach, I guide clients in adopting practical, sustainable lifestyle strategies for wellness—and I love sharing delicious, nourishing recipes that support mind-body balance.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 25 years as a journalist and author writing and editing about health, food, and wholistic living. My blog, “The Color of Wellness,” is featured on PsychologyToday.com. I received my journalism degree from Michigan State University, and enjoyed a successful career as an editor and writer for publications including The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Detroit Free Press and Essence and Health magazines.

I am proud to be affiliated with Positive Psychology Associates, a collaborative of progressive therapists in Midtown Manhattan.

Today, I bring all of my experience, training, and passion to my practice, where I help clients grow, heal, and thrive. Book a consultation or session today. The best time to start? Now.
