Empowering Families Counseling
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, Certified Parent Child Interaction Therapist (PCIT), Certified Perinatal Mental Health
I’m passionate about helping parents recognize their strengths and feel confident in the way they show up for their children. Parenting can feel overwhelming—especially when you're navigating challenging behaviors, anxiety, or the emotional ups and downs of everyday life. Many of the parents I work with come in feeling stuck in cycles of guilt, frustration, and self-doubt.
Together, we shift that.
I help parents move from feeling out of control to feeling calm, clear, and empowered. Through practical, real-time strategies, you’ll learn how to respond to your child’s behavior with confidence, set healthy limits without constant battles, and build a stronger, more connected relationship with your child.
It is possible to enjoy your time with your child while guiding them toward positive behavior and emotional resilience—and to feel secure and grounded in your parenting along the way.
If you’re ready to feel more confident, supported, and in control of your parenting, I’d love to help you get there.

30 Years Experience
Online in Tallahassee, FL Florida
Tallahassee is home to Florida State University and Florida A&M University — the latter one of the country's most prominent HBCUs — creating a large and diverse student population alongside a substantial state government workforce, and a therapy community shaped by both academic stress and the particular pressures of public service careers. The city's African American community, anchored by a historically rich FAMU culture, drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial identity, HBCU community life, and intergenerational resilience. Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and Capital Regional Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community. Tallahassee's geographic distance from Florida's major metros makes it an important regional mental health hub for a large surrounding rural area.
