Hello! I am a licensed mental health therapist in the jurisdictions of Maryland, Florida and Washington, DC. I received my Master's from Howard University and have been practicing for over 10 years. I help youth and adults with life issues and transitions, relationship imbalances, pregnancy/infertility and child-rearing, grief and trauma events. I also have a background in addictions, working with veterans and the lgbqt community.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the initial session, clients will get to share about themselves, answer some standard questions and then discuss why they are seeking therapy. From this information and exchange a treatment plan will be developed and discussed before moving forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having so long in the field, I have an ability to listen and hone in on the main issues that are truly disturbing my clients. I am someone that tends to offer verbal support and encouragement that is practical and felt.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Throughout my practice, I have found that CBT hs been beneficial with most of my clients. Once they can understand the correlation between their thinking and their behavior, they begin to feel empowered.
Eclectic
Once I get to know my clients needs and tendencies I work to choose the most natural modality for that client.
