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.
