Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.

I am the founder of Aligned Roots & Renewal, a veteran-owned, Black-owned mental health counseling and consulting practice dedicated to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care for adults, couples, and communities. Our work centers healing that honors lived experience, strengthens relationships, and supports meaningful growth.

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker–Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia, and I provide telehealth services for adults and couples in both states. I am also a Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor in Maryland and Virginia, supporting social workers in their professional and clinical development.

As a veteran and clinician, I bring a deep respect for resilience, structure, and service into the therapeutic space. I understand firsthand the complexities of transition, identity shifts, partnership stress, and the invisible weight many adults carry while striving to meet expectations while neglecting their own needs.

At Aligned Roots & Renewal, we believe wellness is not just about symptom reduction — it is about alignment: alignment between mind, body, relationships, identity, and values.

The name reflects our philosophy:

Roots represent ancestry, lived experience, identity, and foundation.
Alignment reflects emotional regulation, balance, and authenticity.
Renewal symbolizes healing, growth, and transformation.

My practice is especially committed to serving adults and couples seeking deeper emotional connection, healthier communication, and greater clarity in their lives and relationships. Therapy is not about “fixing” you — it is about helping you reconnect to your strengths, clarify your values, and move forward with intention.

In addition to therapy, I provide domestic violence training and consultation, including specialized training aligned with recent legislative requirements for professionals in the cosmetology field. Education, prevention, and community accountability are central to my mission.

Whether you are seeking healing within yourself, strengthening your partnership, or expanding your professional impact, my goal is to create a space that feels safe, empowering, and transformative.

Healing begins with alignment. Renewal follows.
