Culturally Responsive Therapy in Ohio

A Space Where Your Whole Identity is Celebrated

Welcome to Diverse and Thriving Counseling — a warm, affirming space where every part of you isn’t just accepted, but celebrated.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. You also deserve a therapy space where your identities are celebrated, not questioned. While I honor the unique nuances of every individual story, I am committed to providing a culturally responsive foundation so the weight of “explaining” doesn't fall on you.

I am a Black therapist and LPCC-S providing a dedicated and trauma-informed space for those navigating trauma, systemic stress, and life’s transitions. While I am rooted in the Greater Cleveland area, I provide telehealth throughout all of Ohio, ensuring that quality, culturally responsive care is accessible no matter where you are.

Whether you are seeking EMDR therapy to reprocess the past, navigating the complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence, or finding your footing through life’s transitions in a person-centered space, I am here to walk alongside you.

A Personal, One-on-One Approach

As a single-clinician practice, you receive my undivided attention from the very first interaction. Because I personally manage my own scheduling and care coordination, we can ensure our partnership is a perfect fit before we begin.

Who I work with

  • Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) seeking culturally responsive care to heal from racial trauma and navigate systemic stressors.

  • LGBTQIA+ clients looking for inclusive, nonjudgmental support.

  • Individuals coping with trauma, C/PTSD, or complex stressors ready for EMDR therapy.

  • Anyone looking for a therapeutic relationship that centers your goals, values, and lived experiences.

How I help

  • Person-centered therapy that honors your voice and agency as you are the expert of your own life. My role is to provide the tools and the environment for you to thrive.

  • EMDR therapy as a proven, evidence-based method to accelerate recovery from trauma and emotional distress.

  • Practical skills for emotional regulation, improved relationships, and resilience.

  • Honoring the intersectionality of identities in all aspects of our work.

The Experience

  • Experienced clinician who listens first and collaborates on a plan that fits you.
