As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep desire for helping individuals navigate stress and anxiety, I am passionate about working with women, especially African American women. With 5 years of experience in the field, I understand the unique challenges and pressures that many women face in today's world. I also understand the unique cultural, social, and systemic factors that can impact the mental health of African American women. I am commited to providing a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their concerns.

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

In our first session, we will spend some time getting to know one another. We will discuss your expectations and desired outcome of therapy. This will help me create an individualized plan to assist you in meeting your goals.

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

I pride myself on being honest and authentic while also providing a safe and empathetic environment. I have worked with women in various mental health settings and utilize evidence-based practices to decrease anxiety and develop coping skills.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

I help clients explore past experiences and unconscious processes to gain insight into current struggles. This helps clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have experience utilizing CBT to assist clients in managing stress and anxiety. CBT techniques are used to help clients focus on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. I aim to provide a holistic and personalized therapuetic experience for each client.
