About me

Feeling the need to talk about what matters to you? Life's transitions, stressors, worries, and fears are on everybody's mind. In session, we focus on renewing, restoring, and reviving the most important person...you. I am strong in the areas of increasing your ability to become self-aware and more confident. Through therapy we can explore areas of your life that help you to build a deeper understanding of self. This will lead to better problem-solving skills and being able to find ways to restore yourself. I like to deal with your concerns and let you guide us on where we need to go in therapy. I am open and ready to work with you in a focused, yet gentle way. I inspire people of color to embrace who they are and be more confident in themselves. I embrace all and help you understand that your inner healing helps in dealing with everyday stressors. Let's start reviving.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During the first session, you can expect to take away a new way of seeing your life and life's circumstances. It may feel strange at first, but by the end of our time together the goal is growth, a renewed spirit, and sense of self-worth that was not there before.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I utilize multiple evidenced based therapies. We may use solution-focused therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy for problem solving and behavior changes that you want to make in your life. Person Center therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Relaxation Techniques are some more of my favorites. Whichever tools, it will be the right fit for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am strong in the areas of increasing your ability to become self-aware and more confident. Through therapy we can explore areas of your life that help you to build a deeper understanding of self. This will lead to better problem-solving skills and being able to find ways to restore yourself.

I found my first session with Sparkle to be very helpful. She helped me to think outside of the box. I look forward to my next session with her.

A lot of progress just in our first session of couples counseling! Sparkle was very direct and helped us both understand the root of our issues and identify clear next steps to address them.
