Work HistoryAs a Black, immigrant, and integrative psychiatric provider with over a decade of experience, I offer a unique perspective on mental health. I specialize in treating adult professionals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, sleep issues, burnout, and stress. I understand that your struggles do not define you—they’re just one part of your story. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered on your journey toward healing. I am also passionate about supporting women struggling with PMDD/PMS and BIPOC and immigrant communities, offering tailored approaches to address their unique mental health challenges.
