I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & woman of color with nearly twenty years of clinical therapy & leadership experience. I have worked with diverse populations in several clinical settings over the past twenty years & utilize my warm, authentic personality to connect with my clients on a much-needed deeper level. I am compassionate, empathetic & caring while also remaining direct & honest. I believe in every client who chooses me as their therapist & I count it an honor to be a part of my client's journeys. I work to provide my clients with the tools they need for success; empowering them throughout the process. Each client is unique and this requires individualized, personable care based on each client's needs. I believe in a collaborative approach; my clients & I work together to develop goals & plans to help them thrive. Every client deserves to live the life they desire; my goal is to help clients achieve just that

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I realize there may be an array of emotions that come with a first therapy session. It is important for me to create a warm, welcoming, validating space for my clients. I come from a place of curiosity; I seek to get to know & understand my clients as individuals based on what is comfortable for them to share. I recognize that in that initial space, we are strangers so it is important to talk a little about the therapy process; and what we both hope to see happen as a result of our work together and hopefully form an agreement on how to get there. It's equally important for me to share a bit about who I am, my experience, practice approach.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a skilled & competent professional woman of color with a huge heart for people. I am passionate about human connection and believe it is the catalyst for change. I utilize my warm, compassionate & fun personality coupled with being clinically adept to support & guide my clients to the life they desire to live in the most authentic form.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

My years of working with individuals struggling to accept & work through uncomfortable feelings utilizing ACT as a treatment modality have proven effective. I work authentically with clients on developing self-acceptance & self-compassion as ways to live meaningful lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavior therapy is one of the most commonly used treatment approaches and one that I utilize to assist & support clients seeking to address specific issues such as depression, anxiety, or relational issues.

Somatic

I practice from the whole body approach which is known as somatic work or somatic experiences. Clinically, I have observed that when a person is experiencing unmanaged emotional challenges; they often experience physical symptoms that are interrelated, and somatic therapy can help clients make this connection discovery.

Trauma Informed Care

Trauma is more prevalent than we realize and oftentimes, I have found that my clients present with multiple traumas. In my work with clients using a trauma-informed approach, I support & guide clients through the complexity of trauma, how it impacts their level of functioning & the effect on one's ability to cope.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

In my clinical work primarily with the BIPOC community, I support & validate my client's cultural values & beliefs. Cultural sensitivity is an integral part of my work with clients in validating their emotions & working to understand the impact of culture on individual development.
