As a therapist, I work with my patients to establish a foundation of mindfulness. We begin here to increase awareness and reduce judgements of the self and others. I take a collaborative approach with my clients, allowing autonomy in all aspects of treatment; while holding them accountable. I provide clear action steps after session to facilitate and foster a culture of implementation of skills and topics covered in sessions. After all, this is your life! Who know's it better than you.
In our first session, I anticipate my clients to establish a sense of hope and calm. We will work together to better understand your needs and impact of presenting challenges. I hope to learn who you are as person, including your challenges, I'm interested in learning about your strengths and aspects of life that excite you. I collaborate with my clients to assist them in creating a life they want to live.
Regardless of the presenting problem my clients arrive with: postpartum depression/anxiety, life transitions, overall anxiety, utilizing a foundation of mindfulness not only provides helpful and effective in treatment, it improves quality of life. All of the approaches and methods utilized in treatment are research based and tailored to fit the needs of who is in front of me.
I aim to work with individuals who experience anxiety, life transitions, challenges with self-esteem and self-compassion. As a Black therapist who has engaged in research, I am excited to work with individuals who experience negative self-talk and other challenges.

Ms. Brooks created a space for me to be honest and not scared of sharing anything with her by creating a calm space. She provided me with resources to use in between sessions to keep my mental health safe and to help me see beyond the days ahead.

Alana's silence spoke quite loudly as I shared my struggles with her. She was a backhandedly condescending when recapping my experiences for her notes to clearly state her views. She may not be like this with everyone, but I will not be moving forward with her.
