LICSW
30 years of experience

Hi, I’m an LICSW practicing in Massachusetts for over 30 years. I received an MSW from Boston University SSW as well as a MA in African American Studies. Each degree has informed the other and made me a better clinician. I love my work and truly believe progress is possible for everyone. It looks different for everyone. I encourage clients to own what their success looks like.

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

After a brief introduction, in the first session I find clients want someone to their story. I listen skillfully, fully present with the the client. I recognize that it takes a lot to get to that first appointment and I honor that. Before the conclusion of the session I leave time for any questions they may have and formal documentation.

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

Everyday is a new day. I believe in people’s ability to find their own answers. I’m naturally curious, a good listener and with my years of experience there isn’t too much that I haven’t heard. I’m almost shock proof… almost!

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have found CBT to be a useful intervention for clients seeking to better understand and reconfigure their thinking patterns as they relate to emotions they may not understand and the sometimes unhealthy behaviors that come out of those thoughts and feelings.

EMDR

I been using EMDR for clients who have experienced trauma. Generally there are 2 types of clients I’ve used EMDR with. There are those who have done their research and maybe have tried other approaches and have decided that processing their situation using EMDR. Then there are those who are just tired of the unintended consequences of their trauma and want relief.

Couples Counseling

Relationships can be challenging. They take work to work; and honestly sometimes they need skills that we just don’t have. I work with couples who want to discover what it will take for their relationship to work

Racial trauma treatment

RTT can help one to heal and thrive by acknowledging the damage of systemic multi generational racism on individuals, families and communities.

Faith based therapy

I use FBT by inviting a client’s faith beliefs into the therapeutic process should it be the client’s desire.
