Our Team

I obtained my undergraduate degree from Howard University where I graduated Magna Cum Laude, and my doctorate degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I completed my final graduate internship at Sheppard Pratt’s Crisis Walk-In Clinic and Crisis Admission Unit where I gained experience in treating children, adolescents, and adults in psychiatric crises.

I have a wide variety of professional experience including medical-psychiatry, inpatient psychiatry, outpatient psychiatry, and substance use detox and rehabilitation. I have worked as a psychiatric nurse in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia and am skilled in treating diverse patient populations and diagnoses. 

Practice Philosophy:

I am passionate about reducing stigma and delivering holistic psychiatry to individuals struggling with mental wellness. My practice philosophy is grounded in treating the whole person: mind, body, and soul. 

Books/Articles/Research you’ve Authored: 

• Research: 'Implementation of a Violence Checklist to Reduce Seclusion/Restraint on Inpatient Psychiatry’ 

• Book(s): E.C.H.O.: Exhibition. Clarity. Healing. Oneness.  

One Thing People Should Know about Your Area of Expertise:

I believe that healing is holistic, encompassing mind, body, and soul. My practice style is rooted in treating the whole person and guiding individuals to discover their own definitions of mental health and wellness.

I aim to be more than a provider, but an ally on your journey to wellness.

Favorite Hobbies:

I love to write, writing poetry is a cathartic and healing experience for me. I’m also obsessed with natural skin care. I love blending shea butters and body oils with essential oils that nurture the healing powers of aromatherapy, and have co-founded a natural skin care line The Renewal Company.
