LCSW, 10 years of experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and therapist dedicated to helping women navigate life transitions with clarity, confidence, and resilience. Through a blend of supportive therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychoeducation, I provide a safe space for clients to explore their emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical coping strategies. My approach is rooted in validation, empowerment, and growth, helping clients build the tools they need to manage challenges, foster self-compassion, and step into their fullest potential—both in and outside of therapy.
In the first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where we begin building a strong therapeutic foundation. I’ll start by introducing myself and my approach to therapy, followed by a discussion about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll gather background information about your personal history, life experiences, and current challenges to better understand your needs. Together, we’ll identify your short-term and long-term goals, establish expectations for our sessions, and address any questions you may have. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with—our work will unfold at a pace that feels right for you. I’ll also provide initial insights or coping strategies you can begin using between sessions. By the end of our first meeting, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the therapeutic process and the next steps in your journey.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my empathetic, culturally attuned, and holistic approach to therapy. I create a safe and validating space where women navigating life transitions feel heard, understood, and supported. By blending supportive therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychoeducation, I help my clients gain both emotional insight and practical tools for growth. I excel at helping clients reframe negative thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and shift from "or" thinking to "and" thinking, fostering greater flexibility and empowerment in their healing journey. I provide structured yet compassionate support, incorporating homework assignments, word lists, and tailored interventions to ensure that clients have strategies they can apply outside of our sessions. With my background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and former school social worker, I understand both individual and systemic challenges, allowing me to offer guidance that is both personalized and culturally aware. I strive to balance gentle validation with meaningful accountability, helping my clients not only feel supported but also equipped to take action and create meaningful change in their lives.
I am uniquely equipped to support women of color, including those experiencing career shifts, relationship changes, motherhood, grief, or personal growth challenges. My clients often seek a therapist who understands the unique cultural, societal, and emotional complexities they face. They may struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of emptiness, and they are ready to explore their emotions in a supportive and empowering space. I work best with individuals who are committed to their personal healing and development but need guidance, tools, and validation to navigate their journey. My approach helps clients reframe negative thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and develop practical coping strategies so they can confidently manage life's challenges and move forward with clarity and self-assurance.
I use supportive therapy as a foundation for helping clients navigate life transitions, manage emotional distress, and build resilience. I work to focuses on validating emotions, reinforcing strengths, and providing practical guidance to help clients feel understood and empowered.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify, challenge, and reframe unhelpful thoughts while developing healthier coping strategies, addressing self-doubt, negative thought patterns, emotional regulation, and behavioral changes.
