The fact that you are here means you've made an important decision to start therapy. I'm glad you're here. I've been a therapist for a long time and I love it. It has been said therapy with me is like talking to your "auntie". She will help you see yourself but in such a nurturing way you receive it and it allows you to start the work that needs to be done. My gifting is in assessment and working with adults and couples. I have always worked in some form of mental health assessment since I’ve been a clinician. Most recently I spent 5 years in Grady’s Psychiatric ER. Allowing me to quickly assess needs and develop a life plan with the client. Couple work is also a skilled area for me. Especially when communication has broken down evidenced by constant arguing. Therapy can break couples out of the destructive tit-for-tat cycle. Couples dealing with broken trust, infidelity and unforgiveness are also areas I specialize in. Women’s concerns and issues have always been important to me. I’ve done extensive work in healing their “father wound”. Tapping the spiritual relationship for healing. Services have included online and in-person Sister Circles. Topics include relationships, self development and growth. Another very successful service is my therapeutic walkthrough of popular books. Titles have included RC Blakes’ Queenology and Sophia Nelson’s The Woman Code. Currently, I am authoring The Majestic Woman Mindset, which comes from a woman’s empowerment curriculum I developed. TALK|THERAPY LIVE, is a podcast on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmxgzmGXbnqKKizcNu32WuA of educational videos and live broadcasts addressing behavioral health and relationships. Sometimes with special guests. I have been a helper/healer my entire career and looking forward to this season working with those I can help the most. So whether it’s life just happening, grief, a relationship starting or ending, relationship issues and specifically if there are struggles with depression, anxiety, or a disorder, REACH OUT…Success in life is about making good decisions. Starting therapy is always a great decision!!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will start with introductions and your reasons for seeking therapy. Then dive into expectations and goals that will drive future sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
In therapy, I use Insight-Oriented Processing, Cognitive Behavioral Restructuring, Solution Focused Interventions and psycho-ed instruction on the topics that are being addressed in therapy. Such as communication, forgiveness, boundaries, co-dependency, and relationships. Therapy is client-focused meaning therapy is driven by your needs. My SEE therapeutic framework is very effective in addressing issues that derive from one’s upbringing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
If you are dealing with concerns and issues in your interpersonal relationships; with your significant other, father/daughter, mother/daughter, or other family dynamics. Co-dependency, unforgiveness, grief, and not healing from a relationship; are areas where one gets stuck. I can help you get unstuck. I work well with women's issues and couples work. My insight-oriented approach moves people along and it is not necessary to always spend months and years in therapy.
