As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I recognized and value the trust my clients place in me. I strive every day to provide quality and exceptional service. I truly care for all my clients and work diligently to help them find the answers they seek. Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study social work and mental health. ​ I transitioned from crisis intervention into counseling because I really enjoy talking with people about their interpersonal relationships. Also, I feel like I have a knack for helping. When I started Soul Expressions, I wanted to do something different. I wanted my practice to reflect my unique skills and insights with an emphasis on evidence-based treatments as well as holistic services. Creating a unique social environment that explores culture, art and wellness reflecting the heart and soul of the city. I enjoy working with clients who are committed to making changes in their life. I take pleasure in providing my clients with tools and techniques so that they can reach their potential and ultimately stop coming to therapy. I know your time and money is valuable, so I try to be as structured, and goal oriented as possible. I enjoy hearing how well my clients are doing and seeing their progress in treatment. I am so glad you are here. On behalf of Soul Expressions Counseling…welcome. This is where the healing begins!
