With over six years of experience in the behavioral health field, my background spans from working in inpatient hospital settings to private practice. I’ve faced my own challenges and barriers, which helps me truly understand the courage it takes to start therapy. I know how vulnerable it can feel to sit across from someone and share your story, and how meaningful it is when that person understands your experience and reflects your identity.

Sis, I get it.

This understanding is what inspired me to create Essential Grace Counseling—a space designed with you in mind. My goal is to ensure that here, you feel safe, supported, and free to be your most authentic self.

No need to code switch—because as women of color, we understand.

If you’re ready to start your healing journey, I invite you to meet our team, explore our services, and request an appointment.

We’re here for you.
