Thanks for visiting my profile page. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of case management experience working with diverse populations and all age groups and 5 years post license experience. I am trauma informed and I use CBT, DBT and solution focused modalities with my clients. I have worked in various settings and specialize in work with the African American community and other disenfranchised populations. I am also interested in working with those that have religious trauma including disassociation and those with speech impediments and disorders. Please let me know how I can support you on your quest to connect with yourself so that you can find your purpose.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will be working together to identify your problem, solutions and goals. Expect some homework which will be practice of techniques learned in session.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
While we will be processing the past and how it affects you now, I love teaching CBT and DBT which are skills heavy modalities. We can use those skills while we work on finding solutions that will help you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths come from experience. I understand what's its like to be an African American female. I have worked in Healthcare, prison, crisis center, foster care and managed care settings. I have done home, court and school visits. Lets talk about what your needs are.
