As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with British Caribbean roots and from the tail end of the baby boomer generation, I have come to acknowledge the roller-coaster ride that life offers with numerous highs, lows, and constant cycles of new beginnings and closures. My career in the mental health profession began to take shape in 2012, which led me to secure a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from the esteemed University of South Florida. Since 2014, my focus has been on supporting children and families in Florida. The unprecedented emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted our social lives drastically, prompting an increased need for virtual counseling. However, I managed to adapt to this change in my practice, thus registering continuous growth in the Telehealth space from then onward. My practice now serves the wider population.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will meet you where you're at. We will talk about whatever you're bringing to the table and begin identifying what it is you expect and want to achieve as a result of our therapeutic relationship. Your identified and achievable goals will help me to begin formulating a treatment plan for you, which we will review and sign off on together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Besides my education and passion for continuous learning, my personal experience in my profession says a lot, enhancing my utilization of self in the therapeutic relationship. Also, I place high importance on cultural competency and have gained significant exposure by traveling widely and immersing myself in diverse cultures.
