Clinical
My identity as a Black queer woman uniquely positions me to offer thorough outpatient psychiatry. My goal is to arm patients with the knowledge and abilitiy to choose their own journey, rather than the one they feel forced to follow.
PRIVATE PRACTICE
I offer medication management, psychotherapy, psychologically driven coaching, crisis management, and counseling. Whether your needs are immediate, short-term, or long-term in nature — I can help.

I help individuals (18 and over) from diverse backgrounds manage anxiety, depression, trauma, trouble reality testing, addiction, or insecurities. If you have questions about gender & sexuality, coping with discrimination and/or injustice, or struggle with your identity — I got you.
I don't believe that any one solution can address the unique challenges faced by each individual. I customize my approach for each client by applying multiple treatment modalities that are practical for the real-world.

Unsure about therapy?
Ask yourself a few questions: Why am I reluctant? Is this my first time in therapy? Have I had negative therapeutic experiences in the past?
My goal is to arm you with the ability to choose your own journey, rather than the one you feel forced to follow. Before we begin our relationship together, I offer a free 15 minute call to discuss any concerns you may have before moving forward.​

Please note:

*I do not accept insurance so all payments would need to be paid out of pocket and I provide a superbill to submit to your insurance company if they offer reimbursement.

Contacting your insurance:
The contact number for your insurance company is almost always on the back of your insurance card. If there is a number for Behavioral Health or Mental Health, call that number. Otherwise, call the number for member services. At the prompt, select "Benefits and Eligibility." Say, “I am calling to find out what my out-of-network benefits are for routine medication management provided in an outpatient office setting.” The procedure code, in case they ask for it, is 99213.95 (for virtual sessions).
If they ask for a diagnostic code, say ICD-10-CM F41.1 for generalized anxiety disorder. [It is a generic enough code to give us the answer we need.] Once you determine whether they cover that diagnostic code, the following questions will help you calculate exactly when your benefits will begin and how much each session will be out-of-pocket. It might be helpful to jot down the answer to each.
1. “What is my yearly out-of-network deductible amount?”
2. “Is this a calendar year deductible?”
3. “How much of my yearly deductible amount has been met to date?”
4. “After my yearly deductible has been met, what is my co-insurance percentage?" (It will be something like 60/40, 70/30, or 80/20.)
