LCSW, 11 years of experience
Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist as well as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 10 years experience in the field and I am passionate about client empowerment, taking a strengths-based approach to person-centered therapy She enjoys working with individuals, couples and families; supporting and collaborating with clients through the challenges of life. Some of the treatment areas of service include adolescent counseling, racial trauma, religious trauma/conflict, substance use recovery counseling, and lifestyle and professional planning and guidance. “My goal is the help each client to reach the highest and best version of themselves through empowerment, healing, and evidence-based practices.” My Favorite Things: •Travel- My favorite hobby is collecting stamps in my passport! I love exploring other countries and cultures. Travel is the one of greatest educators. •Family Time- I come from a large family so I love getting together for Sunday dinners and family gatherings. •Hair & Beauty- I’ve been licensed as a cosmetologist for 20 years and I utilize those skills as another avenue for helping clients become the best version of themselves!
In our first session together, we will get to know each other and dive right in to what brings you to therapy and the issues that are most important to you that you want to work on. I feel that the client is the expert of their own life, and I m there to help navigate through challenges, heal past wounds, encourage personal growth and help strategize for success. There is no subject that is off limits and I seek to make my clients feel comfortable to share any issue they may be facing.
As a therapist, I pride myself on being authentic with my clients and really allowing the client to be themselves without judgement or preconceived expectations. I promote a safe space to discuss any issue that is an obstacle to personal success. I have worked with a lot of populations and on a variety of issues that I feel uniquely quqlifies me to speak to a diverse group of clients.
I enjoy working with clients through life’s challenges and transitions; helping to empower, encourage and collaborate with them to heal, grow, and live life to the fullest. I have served clients through breakups, divorce, anxiety, depression, religious and racial trauma, personality disorders, parenting, family conflicts and so much more.
