I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and Maryland, with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families.

My expertise spans guiding clients through grief, depression, trauma, anxiety, and interpersonal stress. I utilize a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Certified Tele-Mental Health Provider, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment tailored to each client’s unique needs.

First session

In our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions before exploring the specific challenges you’re facing. This process will help me develop a tailored plan to guide our work in future sessions. The initial meetings will focus on gathering insights into your unique needs and life journey. This collaborative information exchange, within a safe and supportive environment, will lay the foundation for building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating an effective treatment plan.

Strengths

As an experienced clinician working with individuals and couples, I offer effective coaching and therapeutic interventions designed to foster measurable progress in healing and well-being. Together, we will work to unlock your true potential, empower you to navigate challenges, embrace growth, and unveil the healed authentic version of yourself. Form Fee: I have a form fee of 150.00. If you require a form to be completed for any reason, you must be a current client with a minimum of 10 sessions prior to the request. As a provider, I have the discretion to deny a form completion request in instances of ethical concerns.

Ideal clients

I am dedicated to empowering and coaching individuals as they navigate their personal journeys, heal from trauma, and realize their full potential. With a person-centered and culturally sensitive approach, I provide support that fosters confidence in overcoming life’s challenges. I am deeply committed to the transformative power of therapy and strive to help clients recognize, embrace, and leverage their inner strengths for growth and resilience.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I employ cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help individuals identify, challenge, and reframe negative thought patterns. Additionally, I assist clients in implementing effective strategies to manage anxiety in healthy and constructive ways, fostering overall well-being.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

I educate individuals about traumatic events and guide them in addressing and reframing unhelpful beliefs associated with trauma. I assist in fostering a deeper understanding and reconceptualization of these events to help mitigate the ongoing impact of PTSD symptoms, promoting recovery and resilience.

EMDR

EMDRIA-Trained EMDR Therapist specializing in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, complex trauma, and adverse life experiences. I help clients process distressing experiences, reduce emotional symptoms, and develop healthier coping strategies to support healing and overall well-being.

I have always liked how Tikeya makes me feel comfortable in sharing any and everything, almost like I'm talking to my friend and not a professional.

Tikeya is the first therapist I've ever had in my life whom I have made a match with. Ive gone through 5 therapist and this has been the most consistent for me. Shes patient, articulate and extremely logical on helping me understand the areas I need to work on. Her diagnosis on my behaviors and results of trauma are spot on and I absolutely look forward to my sessions.
