I am African American and Dutch. I've lived all over the U.S., so I say "y'all", I take *the* 5 when I drive out of town, and I used to ride a bike everywhere even in the snow! My culture is my own and I'm honored to share in others' as well. I earned a B.A. in Psychology and Brain & Cognitive Science, minor in Music from the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY. Later I attended Simpson University and earned a M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I take a client-centered approach allowing you to take the lead on the issues you want to work on. I am always open to feedback and hope to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and challenged to meet your personal goals.
