(she/her)
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has been licensed since 2007 and in the field of social work for over 25 years. I specialize in aiding clients navigate through difficult emotions like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I also help those that are seeking spiritual guidance when life doesn't seem to make sense and they have used all the tools that they know to use. Additionally, I also help clients navigate through racial trauma and the impact Racism has had upon them in these difficult times.
In the 1st session I will do a standard intake assessment so that I can get a basic understanding of the clients issues and level of functioning. Additionally, we will also develop goals to determine what they want to receive from having treatment with me.
I believe as a provider I offer a safe environment for my clients to speak freely without judgment that may experience from a friend or family member. Also the basis of my therapy is intuitive. I don't give responses nor ask questions based on some prescribed theoretical orientation. I base my treatment on what each client brings to the session as a unique human with feelings and concerns which may vary.
I love working with women of color in various age groups that are struggling with depression or anxiety due to trauma, childhood abuse, or existential reasons. I love working with professional women that have insight into what is ailing them but lack the tools to resolve their difficult emotions on their own.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I assist clients in identifying the toxic thoughts that are keeping them in a place of sadness or anxiety, then feeling what they feel, and then reframing the thoughts into something that is healthier and more productive.
Eclectic
I considered more therapeutic approach to be Holistic; focusing on mind, body, soul/spirit. We explore how to shift toxic thought patterns, the connection between lifestyle/diet and our mental state, and delve into spirituality as you define it.

I instantly knew she would be the right fit for me. Truly the right balance of empowerment, authenticity and openness. I can’t wait to continue this work with her and grow my toolbox.
