About Me
An EMDRIA-certified psychotherapist, author, facilitator, and speaker, I am founder and clinical director of Muse & Grace Mental Health Counseling Services, a Midtown Manhattan-based practice that promotes recovery, resilience, and growth while centering people of color. My work is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in the power of story. Along with EMDR, I blend expressive arts, mindfulness, and other evidence-based practices in my work with individuals, groups, and communities.
I am a co-author of the forthcoming Black Women Rising: A Joyful Self-Care Guide for Liberation and Healing (March 2027, Amistad/HarperCollins), and author No Secrets, No Lies: How Black Families Can Heal from Sexual Abuse. I write The Color of Wellness on Psychology Today.
Education & Experience
I hold a Master’s in Counseling for Mental Health & Wellness from New York University, and a Master's in Health Arts & Sciences from Goddard College. I support clients coping with trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stress, and challenging family dynamics. My work incorporates EMDR and Brainspotting, as well as The Gottman Method for couples therapy. I also use Poetry Therapy, Transformative Language Arts and creative arts interventions, all of which are grounded in research and practice. Together, these approaches help you make meaning of how you think, feel, and relate. A journalism veteran and author, I've written and edited about mental and physical health, food, nutrition and holistic living for more than 25 years.
