Hi! Welcome to therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a PhD and I earned my Masters from Shorter University in Rome, Ga. and my Doctorate online from Argosy University. My career began in 1986 and I have held many roles and worked in many settings i.e., inpatient psych programs, outpatient psych programs, ER settings, colleges, Community Service Boards, State psychiatric facilities and more. I am working on a book entitled "Parenting Styles of African American Fathers". Two of my long term goals are: to become a John Maxwell Certified Speaker and to teach undergrad psychology classes. I will bring my A' game to the therapy session and I challenge you to do the same.

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

In our first session together, we will start with introductions then dive into the topic or issue that led you to seek help. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow up sessions

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

My greatest strengths are my relaxed demeanor, the ability to listen with my ears yet hear with my heart. I excel in pointing out patterns and pathologies that are showing up in the present and have their origins in childhood. I am really good at building relationships and and maintaining long term therapeutic relationships. My ability to draw connections to the past and present put me on the cutting edge of psychiatry and psychiatric services. My natural gifts of creativity, wittiness and passion for hurting people show up in my therapy sessions and produce a fun and educational experience.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with motivated adults who are eager to find solutions/answers to their questions. I am best positioned to serve clients who do not object to small amounts of homework and who are ready to talk about what led them to treatment. My dream client is seeking and disciplined with keeping commitments. The dream client brings their authentic self to the therapy session and seeks to find as well as understand. The dream client allows me to be the expert and trusts the therapeutic process.
