Life is a journey, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Support is available—let’s figure it out together. With over 14 years of experience in community-based mental health and school counseling, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals ages 5 to 65. My educational background at Virginia State University (VSU), Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), and Walden University has provided me with a strong foundation for offering compassionate, individualized care.
With over 14 years of experience in the field of mental health and school counseling, I have been fortunate to gain a wealth of knowledge working with individuals 5 to 65!
I take an eclectic approach to therapy because I believe that one size does not fit all. While cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is my primary approach, I incorporate additional therapeutic techniques based on each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.
First session
Your first session is all about getting started and helping you feel comfortable. We'll review any necessary paperwork, discuss confidentiality, answer any questions you may have about the counseling process, and take care of a few housekeeping items. Most importantly, we'll spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brings you to therapy. You'll have the opportunity to share your concerns, experiences, strengths, and what you hope to gain from counseling. Together, we'll begin identifying your needs and goals so we can create a plan that feels right for you and supports your journey toward growth and healing.
Strengths
I bring a collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy, helping clients recognize and build upon the positive qualities, skills, and support systems already present in their lives. I strive to create a relaxed, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and sharing openly. I believe therapy should be both supportive and purposeful, with each session offering meaningful insight, encouragement, and practical tools that promote growth and lasting change. I am passionate about empowering individuals to recognize their potential, strengthen their resilience, increase motivation, and develop a greater sense of purpose as they work toward their personal goals.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
Eclectic therapy allows clinicians to draw from multiple evidence-based therapeutic modalities rather than relying on a single theoretical orientation. This approach provides flexibility to tailor interventions to each client's unique needs, strengths, cultural background, presenting concerns, and treatment goals. By integrating techniques from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, and Family Systems Therapy, therapists can respond more effectively to the complexity of real-life challenges. The eclectic approach promotes individualized care, enhances client engagement, and increases the likelihood of positive treatment outcomes by matching interventions to what is most beneficial for the client at a given point in treatment.
