Hello, I am a woman of strong faith and my approach to treatment is centered around guiding individuals toward ego transcendence—helping you connect with your higher self and uncover the person you are meant to be. I believe that addressing psychological wounds, defenses, and false beliefs is essential for discovering your true self and finding purpose and meaning in life. Through a blend of psychoanalysis, dream interpretation, and personal growth strategies, I raise awareness of the unconscious mind in decision-making and help break negative patterns, by encouraging you to confront unresolved conflicts, I support you in transcending the ego and fully embracing your higher self.

 

I take a holistic approach that addresses the spirit, mind, and body, empowering you to overcome obstacles, manifest your desired life, and shed old behavioral patterns that no longer serve you. My ultimate goal is to deliver tangible results that enhance your overall quality of life.

 

I hold a Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree from the Los Angeles campus of the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and a certificate in Psychoanalytic Theory from the New Center for Psychoanalysis. In addition, I studied abroad in Zurich, Switzerland, at the Jungian Institute, where I focused on Carl Jung, spiritual psychoanalysis, and addictions. My educational journey began at Norfolk State University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, followed by my Master's studies in Washington, D.C. My doctoral dissertation, entitled "Transcendence of The Ego," profoundly influences my practice and commitment to helping others. Currently, I am a Pre-Licensed Psychological Associate at Growing Minds, working under the supervision of Dr. Svetlana Ravinovich.​
