**I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CHILD/ADOLESCENTS CLIENTS** I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Maryland. I received my Masters from Salisbury University and have been specializing in mental health therapeutic care for the last five years. As a therapist dedicated to supporting African American women, children, and families, I provide compassionate care to those navigating the effects of trauma. I aim to empower individuals to heal, build self-esteem, and develop effective communication skills, fostering resilience and healthier emotional responses.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
*Please note: Your booking time will be our established meeting time going forward* In our first session, we'll create a safe space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. I'll ask questions to understand your experiences and goals, and you'll have the chance to ask anything about the therapy process. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I bring a unique perspective to my work as a mental health provider, shaped by my own experiences in foster care and navigating challenges related to low self-worth and people-pleasing. This personal journey allows me to relate deeply to my clients, fostering an immediate sense of understanding and trust. My strengths lie in active listening and empathetic support, which enable me to create a welcoming environment where clients feel truly heard. I excel at helping individuals articulate their emotions and experiences, providing them with the words to express what they feel. This collaborative approach not only empowers clients but also cultivates resilience and self-awareness as we work together on their healing journey.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I specialize in supporting women with low self-esteem who are experiencing challenges related to rejection and abandonment. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work together to identify and address the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to low self-esteem and self-worth. Our goal is to cultivate a more positive self-image and enhance overall self-worth
Family Therapy
Using Family Therapy, I collaborate with parents and children to enhance communication and foster mutual respect. This approach aims to cultivate awareness of children's behaviors and parental responses, promoting healthier interactions that build trust, respect, and deeper connections among family members.
Play Therapy
I specialize in utilizing Play Therapy to facilitate the therapeutic alliance with children. This approach not only establishes rapport but also provides an effective framework for teaching essential skills in emotional regulation and self-awareness. The goal is to enhance communication, foster a strong sense of self-identity, and develop emotional intelligence.
Faith based therapy
As a Christian woman, I assist fellow believers in navigating life’s experiences and challenges by integrating spiritual principles and wisdom. My focus is on fostering spiritual insight and soundness as essential tools for enhancing mental and emotional well-being.
Trauma Informed Care
I recognize that we all have experiences that can leave lasting wounds. As a therapist, my goal is to raise awareness about trauma and its effects through psychoeducation. Utilizing a Trauma-Informed Approach, I create a safe, trusting, and empowering environment to support your healing and growth.
