Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful changes in your life. Together, we will navigate challenges, celebrate progress, and create a path toward healing and growth. I look forward to being part of your journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths lie in creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, focusing on your unique experiences, values, and goals. I pride myself on tailoring therapy to each client’s needs, using evidence-based methods. As someone who deeply values cultural humility, I am especially passionate about working with diverse populations, including [ e.g., Black women, postpartum mothers, or marginalized communities]. My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, build resilience, and foster a sense of empowerment in all areas of your life.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in supporting Black women during pregnancy and postpartum. I am dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where you can navigate the unique challenges and joys of motherhood. I understand the intersection of culture, identity, and motherhood, and I am here to help you explore your experiences with care and understanding. Whether you're managing postpartum depression, anxiety, or the everyday adjustments of this life-changing journey, we’ll work together to uncover your strengths, build resilience, and nurture your well-being. Using evidence-based approaches and a culturally responsive lens, my goal is to empower you to thrive in this transformative season of life.
