I’m a mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals on their wellness journey. With a Master's in Social Work from Florida A&M University and Florida State University, I specialize in various therapeutic approaches that help clients explore their challenges, develop coping strategies, and work towards their goals. With over 10 years of experience in medical and psychiatric social work, I have worked with adolescents, young adults, and the elderly. My passion lies in helping everyone find their best selves and navigate through life's difficulties. I strive to provide a safe and compassionate space for growth and healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect to engage in an introductory conversation where I’ll gather information about their background, current challenges, and goals for therapy. I’ll create a safe and welcoming environment for them to share their experiences. Together, we'll discuss what they hope to achieve in therapy and how you can work together to reach those goals. I may also introduce your approach and the structure of future sessions, ensuring they feel comfortable and informed about the process. Overall, the focus will be on establishing rapport and understanding their unique needs.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Setting clear goals and creating effective coping strategies are crucial aspects of therapy. Techniques like exposure therapy allow clients to gradually confront their fears in a controlled setting. Additionally, assigning homework helps reinforce learning and encourages clients to practice skills outside of therapy sessions, promoting continuous growth and progress.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I focus on finding solutions in the present and exploring clients' hopes for the future, rather than getting deeply into past issues. The emphasis is on identifying what is working well in their lives and how they can build on their strengths. This strengths-based approach encourages clients to harness their resources and create a positive path forward.
