Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor. I graduated from UWF and Troy State University. I've been doing therapy for over 5 years. I am a trained trauma therapist and an advocate for the normalization of therapy. I am so passionate, not just about what I do as a therapist, but about specifically working with you. I don't take it lightly. You trusting me with your inner must thoughts, feelings and experiences will be respected, honored and guided at your own pace. Allow me to sit beside you to assist in creating a framework for your healing journey.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I believe my greatest gifts are relatability, passion for this field of counseling and for my clients.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of therapy utilized to assist with the recovery of clients whose suffered traumatic events and PTSD. I have been trained in this modality for 4 years and currently becoming certified.
I am a believer that utilizes spiritual principles to assist client's along their healing journey. This is optional but has shown to be very effective.
CBT is a therapy modality that is effective in changing thinking patterns. It works best with self esteem, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety and depression.
Being a person of color, experience with racism, discrimination and trauma training has equipped me with knowledge and understand to work with populations who has experienced traumatizing events stemmed from racism.
DBT is a talk therapy adapted for people who feel emotions intensely. The goal of DBT is help understand and accept difficult feelings. I have been trained for two years in this modality.
