I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, continuing a family legacy of service in the field. With over a decade of experience, I've worked across diverse settings, including hospitals, home health, and outpatient centers. Currently, I specialize in Individual Therapy, considering it a genuine privilege to support individuals during their most vulnerable moments.
In the first session, clients can anticipate a genuine connection that goes beyond the screen. While I bring optimism and a generally upbeat demeanor, I acknowledge that many seeking help might not be in their best state. My aim is to alleviate feelings of loneliness and make you feel understood.
My primary strength as a therapist lies in the experience I bring to our interactions. While many have someone to confide in, what sets me apart is my formal education, empowering me to guide you in navigating decisions. Despite our differences, the common thread is a shared desire for your well-being, akin to the support from friends or family in your corner.
In my encounter with CBT, I've found resonance in Gandhi's words: "Your beliefs shape your thoughts, words, actions, habits, values, and destiny." CBT, to me, is a tool that facilitates recognizing and transforming our thoughts for positive change.
Being an African American woman, I feel a natural awareness of the shared struggles and connections among diverse minorities. As a therapist, my firsthand encounters with systemic challenges enable me to bring a perspective beyond what textbooks and classrooms offer when assisting my clients.
I adopt a diverse theoretical approach in therapy, recognizing the uniqueness of each individual. Embracing the idea that people are multidimensional, I've found success in employing a blend of theoretical approaches tailored to the specific needs of my clients.
I believe in the power of collaboration, applying the same principle to assist my clients in their healing journey. Providing genuine encouragement with a blend of positivity and authenticity, I stand alongside my clients, offering motivational support.
