I'm a therapist with twenty-two years of experience. I specialize in working with adults. I provide support and encouragement to all of my clients. I want my clients to feel seen and heard. I believe that healing is possible for everyone who is seeking it. I aim to help all my clients recognize their self-worth and increase self-esteem and resilience. I've worked as a clinical coordinator and clinical supervisor. In addition to being a contractor at Grow, I own a counseling practice Phenomenal Woman Counseling LLC.
The first session is an extensive evaluation of your symptoms and factors affecting your mental health while also developing a supportive therapeutic relationship.
I'm a woman of great faith that has overcome my own personal struggles and have the compassion to support others who desire to do the same.
I am best positioned and enjoy providing counseling to adults.
Christian Counseling
I provide Christian counseling regularly to at least half of my clients. I read and share scriptures and biblically based principles with my Christian clients as requested. I also encourage Christian practicing clients to pray and read the Bible.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help my clients to reflect on how their thoughts influence their mood, behaviors and decisions. I teach them to re-evaluate their thoughts as needed to improve life functioning.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I help my clients to evaluate their thoughts regarding traumas they have experienced. I teach them how to reframe trauma in a healthier way, for instance by not blaming themselves when others have mistreated them.
Trauma Informed Care
I recognize that most individuals seeking counseling have experienced some form of trauma. I help them to explore how traumatic experiences contribute to their current systems and treat them accordingly.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I understand that individuals of color have life experiences that are unique compared to others and I provide opportunities for them to discuss those issues.
