LMSW-C, 5 years of experience
I started college at the age of 14. Since then, I have attended 3 prestigious universities. I have developed curriculum for several states in thousands of schools. I have been a children's, court, school, outpatient, and substance use therapist. I love all populations, people, ages, and lifestyles. My sole purpose is to help and grow my clients. I will learn from you just like you will learn from me, this is a partnership.
Our first session will consist of: reviewing completed paperwork, introducing ourselves to one another, a quick look into your social circles, review of your symptoms, you sharing any pertinent information, discussing previous mental health experiences, reviewing medications, completing mental health assessments, discussing hopes and outcomes for treatment, receiving some insight into your diagnosis, scheduling our next appointment, and reviewing your experience.
I have a huge personality and I have experienced a lot of life at a young age. This allows me to offer judgement free and insightful care while facilitating a safe and fun environment.
I work well with all clients. As a double oppressed minority that happens to be a healthcare provider, I do believe that I can properly serve those that are people of color and LGBTQ2+.
I trained as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist at Wayne State University. I believe it is important to examine ones thoughts and feelings as a means to better understand their behavior. If you cancel within 24 hours of our appointment there will be a $50 no show fee.
I am spontaneous and theatrical, I often create therapeutic exercises on the fly as a means to increase confidence and strengthen the therapeutic bond.
I am a credentialed child mental health practitioner. I have worked as a Children's Therapist for many years.
As a therapist, I pride myself on being my clients biggest cheerleader. In an effort to boost self-esteem I use Strength-Based therapy to evoke self love.
