I am is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia and Florida. I received my Masters and Bachelors Degree from The Florida State University’s College of Social Work in Tallahassee, Fl. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers and the National Association of Black Social Workers. My clinical experience in the social work field started in 2005 and has included working with adults, children/adolescents, couples, families and groups. My objective is to create a therapeutic alliance with clients so they feel safe processing their emotions in a healthy way.
In our first session you can expect to learn more about me as a clinician, the therapeutic process and discuss your treatment goals. I am also eager to learn more about you and how I can support you on this journey.
With over 18 years of experience, I have enjoyed working with individuals, families, couples and running groups. I have worked in a variety of settings not limited to Secondary and Higher Learning institutions, Community based mental health and health care settings to name a few. I have had the opportunity to work effectively with my clients to meet their therapeutic goals, thrive in their careers, and relationships, and improve their overall functioning.
I work with clients to identify their specific challenges or concerns, and help them recognize how to shift and gain control over their thoughts that significantly impacts your mood/ emotions and behaviors. As you make progress you will develop coping skills that will assist with mood improvement fostering resilience with a more positive outlook on life.
I work with couples to improve their overall functioning within their relationship. Typically couples need support in areas that might include; improving their communication, establishing healthy boundaries, healing from infidelity, and parenting support. In partnership, we will work together to identify goals and work towards a healthier relationship.
Using this therapeutic approach I assist clients with understanding and accountability of their choices and decisions, emphasizing the importance of being mindful and focusing on the present. I assist the client with goal setting, improving functioning within interpersonal relationships and conflict resolution skills.
I work with clients briefly with a goal oriented approach to finding resolutions to current and future concerns rather than focusing on any past experiences.
