I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from Fisk University, an HBCU. My Master's degree is from Argosy University in Atlanta. Throughout my career, my primary goal has always been to collaborate with clients and assist them in navigating through challenging times. Externally, everything may appear to be going well, but internally, challenges persist, making life difficult. Striving for perfection, grappling with past worries, and facing uncertainty about the future can impact various aspects of your life, including relationships with family and friends, hindering you from living authentically. Even if your professional life is thriving, interpersonal connections may be strained. My aim is to create a supportive space for you to heal from challenging experiences, ease your mind from persistent worries, and foster a sense of hope amid sadness. Whether difficulties stem from past events or unexpected circumstances, I am here to assist. With extensive experience helping individuals and families navigate tough times, discover their true selves, and regain a sense of normalcy, I am dedicated to guiding you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is primarily about building a foundation for the therapeutic relationship and gaining an understanding of the client's needs. Clients are encouraged to express themselves openly and honestly, and therapists work to create a supportive environment conducive to the client's well-being. Collaboration is essential - together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to help overcome your current problems.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My profound satisfaction comes from the privilege of aiding individuals in the process of rediscovering their voices. I specialize in skillfully guiding the transformative journey that leads back to one's genuine and authentic self. Through a tailored and supportive approach, I aim to empower individuals to navigate this path of self-discovery, fostering a deeper connection with their true and authentic identity.
