I am a licensed psychologist with a diverse set of talents. My expertise includes a diversity, equity, and inclusion consultant and trainer, writer, podcaster, public speaker, and therapist. I am a Black woman, feminist, social justice advocate, sex-positive advocate, intellectual, mother, scholar, and mentor. When you meet me you’re likely to find a transparent, witty, irreverent, charming, genuine, and relatable human being.  My many intersecting identities uniquely position me to help others via training, coaching, and therapy. I believe that meaningful relationships are sources of learning about ourselves. We each have a fundamental right to happiness and pleasure as defined by ourselves for ourselves.
 

To the matter of my credentials, I received my Ph. D. in Counseling Psychology from the APA-accredited top-ranked program at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2002. For over 15 years I was a professor of Counseling Psychology with over 7 years as a tenured professor. During that time, I peer-reviewed published pieces focused on identity and cultural factors impacting young Black adults.
