LPC, 30 years of experience
You've made an important decision to start therapy. I'm glad you're here. It has been said therapy with me is like talking to your "auntie". I will help you see yourself but in such a nurturing way you receive it, and it allows you to do your work. My gifting is in assessment and working with adults and couples. I have always worked in some form of mental health assessment in my career. 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. Broken trust, infidelity and unforgiveness are also areas I specialize in. Women’s concerns and issues are important to me. I’ve done extensive work in healing their “father wound”. Tapping the spiritual relationship for healing. 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!!
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.
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.
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.
Adult issues, focus on healing, self-development and growth. Depression, Anxiety, family of origin issues, Life transitions: loss & grief, divorce, relationship ending, couple counseling. MY COUPLE/MARITAL COUNSELING IS A SELF-PAY SERVICE. NO INSURANCE ACCEPTED FOR COUPLE WORK.

Our session just further awakened me to the reality of my current stage of life and that I have gotten in a bind but there is still some hope although I haven’t been feeling the most hopeful lately.

Some of the topics you went over with me today was me and my way of thinking; very good information for me.
