Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I received my Masters from the Howard University and have been practicing for 5 years. I help people realize the underlying reasons to their stressful factors and lay out a personalized plan towards the goals they would like achieve. Therapy itself can sometimes feel overwhelming, but I am fully engaged with you through your journey.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help create a personalized treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions, towards your desired goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with people of different age groups and different races, I have come to the realization that everyone responds to stressful situations differently. We also react to treatment differently. So my greatest strengths are being open minded, flexible and actively listening to what my clients share.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love the opportunity of helping people come to the realization that they can take charge of negative thought and actually become the best version of themselves possible.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With CBT, I have been able to help my client gain understanding of the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Engaging with client in therapy, exercises during session and homework; they have been able to recognize and gain control over automatic thoughts. I use CBT to help client understand their feelings, thought and behavior are all related. A good understanding of this concept leads to the desired change. sitive feelings = positive thoughts = positive behaviors.

For a first session this was enough to show me your strengths and it reflected in our conversation the value of your therapy. I look forward to growing with your trusted support!

David is exceptionally wise, knowledgeable, and skilled at working with families. From the very beginning, my husband, 8-year-old son, and I felt comfortable sharing openly with him. His compassionate and approachable manner made it easy to build trust, and we felt genuinely supported throughout our time together.
