How to begin
Investing in yourself
“How can I invest in myself?”
You deserve to prioritize your mental health—it should not be viewed as a luxury but as a fundamental right.
Imagine escaping the tiring loop of burnout. Picture a life where you wake up feeling energized, motivated, and confident in yourself. It's not just a distant dream; it's a possibility within your reach! I genuinely believe in the strength and resilience within each of us.
I am deeply dedicated to empowering and uplifting women of color as they journey toward feeling complete and fulfilled. I recognize the distinct challenges we face as women of color, and above all, I am committed to enhancing our strength.

Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Mark Cagle LPC-S
I recognize that confronting stereotypes and generational pain can be an ongoing struggle, especially when you are also trying to navigate different aspects of your identity. But please know that your resilience, cultural heritage, community bonds, and empathy are truly remarkable.
I want to work with you to create a space for healing where we can honor your unique experiences and work toward your overall goals.
You're not alone on this journey—I'm here to support you and provide the tools you need to thrive!
“How can I get started?”
Step 1:
Consultation (30 minutes) — Free
Beginning with a consultation call allows us to have a video meeting to determine if we are a good fit, and enhances your chances of reaching your personal goals.
This video consultation will provide an overview of session rules and expectations. You will also be allowed to ask any questions regarding the therapy process.
This brief meeting will help ensure that you clearly understand what to expect during your sessions and how to get the most out of your therapy experience.
If you decide to work with me, we will then make arrangements to meet on a set schedule.
Step 2:
Intake Session (60 minutes) — $170
Once you’ve finished the consultation call and submitted the necessary client intake documents, we will proceed to schedule your 1-hour intake session.
The intake session marks the start of our therapeutic relationship and aims to establish a solid foundation for your therapeutic journey. In this onboarding meeting, we will focus on identifying the goals you hope to accomplish through therapy. We will also explore your personal history, which will help me get to know you better and understand your needs.
Step 3:
Individual Session (50 minutes) —$160
Once you become an established client, we’ll set up a schedule that works for you, ensuring we meet at the right time and frequency. We will work collaboratively during our sessions to explore the issues that brought you to counseling.
I will ask questions to help you gain insights, challenge unhelpful patterns, and develop strategies for more effectively navigating life’s challenges.
If this sparks your interest, why not take the first step on your therapy journey today?
Embrace the freedom and tranquility that come from taking control of your life.
