It is nice to virtually meet you, and I hope we will have a chance to meet more personally in the future! Until then, please know that I am grateful for your interest in Essence Counseling and Wellness, and as its founder, I am committed to helping you live a life you love.

My experiences as a therapist, educator, and friend have inspired my therapeutic approach, and I am confident we can work together to meet your wellness and professional goals.

In private practice for over 10 years, I have had the opportunity to apply proven methods, and I take pride in the individualized and effective psychological care I deliver. In fact, that is what sets Essence apart– flexibility and a streamlined treatment focus.
