I received a Masters of Art degree from Bowie State University in Mental Health Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor with five years of experience practicing in the field of trauma, sexual and physical abuse, co-occurring disorders and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Addictions and my areas of interest include women’s issues, trauma, anger and stress management and relational conflict.

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

In our first session, I will create a comfortable and safe environment where the client feels at ease. I aim to build rapport and establish a trusting therapeutic relationship. I will explain the therapy process and discuss confidentiality and boundaries. We will work collaboratively to set goals for your therapy journey.

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

As a cognitive behavior therapy therapist, I have learned over the past five years of practice, my greatest strength lies in my ability to engage clients as equal partners in the therapeutic process. I encourage clients to take an active role in identifying and challenging challenging thought patterns and in implementing behavioral strategies. This collaborative approach fosters a sense of empowerment and autonomy in clients, enhancing their commitment to the therapeutic work.
