I am the creator of Emerge Counseling, Consultation, and Wellness Services. My life’s passion is to help empower Women of Color to unlock their healthiest and happiest version of themselves.
Whether you are struggling through a life transition, experiencing race-based stress, or managing mental health concerns like anxiety or depression, our shared goal is to connect you to the best version of yourself. I believe that identity shapes our experiences and that developing awareness allows our true selves to emerge. I want to help you cultivate your ideal life on your own terms.
For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in community mental health, intensive outpatient settings, and higher education. I provide counseling services that emphasize wellness — both physical and mental — as a form of prevention.
What sets my work apart is that I consider my clients’ unique position in society in order to find the right style for them. I take an integrated clinical approach, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and interpersonal process therapy to find solutions specifically designed for you. My goal is to empower you.
I focus on taking organizations beyond diversity initiatives and encourage participants to lean into their differences. Far too often, we hide the unique individual characteristics we each embody out of discomfort. My charge is to increase an organization's ability to understand cultural differences from both their perspective and the perspective of the other culture(s). It is in understanding and leveraging differences that organizations are able to emerge.

My primary focus is to assist Associate Clinical Social Workers (ASW) in conceptualizing their cases and understanding the person seeking services. Through conceptualization and diagnosing, they can develop a working premise/path for care.
