I want you to have the life you deserve! I am a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Xavier University of Louisiana and a Master's of Social Work from Norfolk State University. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations including adults and adolescents, helping them navigate various life transitions. With a deep understanding of human behavior and the complexities of the human mind, I specialize in areas of expertise and therapeutic modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based approaches. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My first objective is to always hear about what kind of support you are looking for in your healing journey. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I aim to empower clients to meet their optimal wellness.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Throughout my career, I have always focused on being culturally competent, compassionate, empathetic, and client-centered. As a Clinical Social Worker, I approach therapy through a holistic lens.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with young professionals who are navigating life changes that may impact their mental health. I am also an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Identifying the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop a stronger self-awareness of maladaptive symptoms.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Figuring out ways to stay grounded in the present through increased awareness, non-judgemental observation, acceptance, and self-compassion.
Motivational Interviewing
A client-centered, goal-oriented approach to help individuals resolve ambivalence and strengthen their motivation to change behaviors, particularly those that are harmful or unproductive.

This approach will help you reprocess difficult memories, sensations, and feelings. Additionally, this treatment method can help with identifying emotions that are stored within our body.

Imani truly listens to whatever situation I explain and asks great reflective questions to really make me consider various facets. Her methods continue to pop up throughout my day during the week as I encounter new situations and have helped me refocus and cope with things as they arise. I really appreciate her!

I have worked with Imani before. She is results-oriented while at the same time extremely comfortable to talk to - she is not judgmental and employs compassion and professionalism during our sessions. I am so happy I found her again.
