About me

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working in college counseling, outpatient therapy, and hospital settings. For most of my professional career, I've worked with people with chronic medical conditions. Your condition does not define you and I can help. I also consider it an honor to join with people during transitions in their lives (career changes, relationships, graduation, birth, loss). During those transitions is where we’ll really see your strengths shine.

Within the past two years, I've partnered with front line health care professionals in emergency services (paramedics, nurses, physicians, health care trainees) to assist with managing the stress that comes with a high-risk job. Now more than ever, your job is necessary in our communities. But that should not come at the cost of your health and wellbeing. You give so much to others, let's work together to give back to you.

My clinical style is warm, casual, and occasionally direct. I practice providing therapy services with both transparency and kindness. I believe you are an expert in your experiences, and I’d like to join my expertise with yours to meet your goals. It’s likely that in the process of therapy, we’ll face hard truths, but I’ll be there with you every step of the way. As a woman and person of color, I’ve committed myself to creating a space for all people to seek support and personal growth. You are welcome here!

Dr. Williams changed my life. She walked with me through some of the darkest times in my life with a kind and gentle heart. I’m so thankful to have known her and gotten to interact with her in my life.
