(she/her)
My specialty is treating mental health concerns through individual therapy in a holistic manner, emphasizing trauma work utilizing various options of evidence-based psychotherapy such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), racial trauma therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing (MI). In addition, I hope to come alongside Black women, Black folks, members of the LGBTQ+ community, transracially adopted and displaced people, and those who have experienced spiritual abuse in their healing journeys.
Therapy, simply talking to a person that is committed to coming alongside you with empathy, compassion, and understanding, is an important tool that can be a stepping stone to continued healing. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into what brings you to therapy. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
One of my greatest strengths is that I am empathetic, compassionate, and understanding. I cultivate a virtual space for healing so that I can come alongside you in a meaningful, helpful, and appropriate way.
I love working with Black, young adults who are navigating adulthood including their relationships (with themselves, familial, professional, and romantic). I also appreciate working with LGBTQ+ folks, those who are transracial adoptees, who have experiences spiritual abuse or abuse in cults or similar organizations.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help my clients learn how to identify and change the destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on their behavior and emotions.
Multicultural
I use a multicultural approach to treatment and therapy which embraces all of what makes you you.
Trauma Informed Care
Most of us have experienced trauma. Being mindful of that fact, guides how I treat with a lens towards being mindful and informed about trauma and its impacts.
Racial trauma treatment
Racial / ethnic identities play a significant role in people's lives. I can come alongside you as you navigate racial trauma you've experienced.
