LCSW, 10 years of experience
I am an African American Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a decade of experience in the field of mental health. As someone who balances the roles of career woman, wife, and mother, I share the lived experiences of many of my clients. With a strong spiritual foundation, I believe in my calling to uplift and support individuals through seasons of transition. My practice is helping those experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship issues, as well as those struggling to balance multiple responsibilities. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized care to help my clients achieve their mental health and personal goals. I strive to destigmatize thoughts related to mental health and counseling. Seeking help does not mean you are "crazy." It simply means you are open to learning new tools and strategies to navigate through life. Let's work together to cultivate a new you!
In the first session I will be gathering information to learn about you and your history. We will review informed consent, practice policies, and develop a treatment plan. You will have the ability to share what you are currently feeling and why you chose to seek mental health services at this time.
I pride myself in creating safe spaces for clients to express themselves freely. I am able to empathize and place no judgement on what clients are experiencing.
My ideal clients are the high achieving female who may struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and boundary settings. Many high achievers wear many hats and struggle to balance it all. I believe in promoting self-care to promote a healthy balance. Are you there for everyone else but don't feel comfortable being vulnerable with your friends and family? Allow me to be your safe space to share your inner thoughts and emotions.
I love utilizing the cognitive triangle to educate clients on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related to one another.
I believe in leaning into your strengths to impact your presenting concerns.
I believe in being solution focused and assisting you with brainstorming ideas to solve your unique issues.
