Therapists in Lakewood, CA

As a Trauma-Informed therapist, I believe Transitional Age Folx deserve support. I support clients who are dealing with past trauma or other disheartening experiences and want to rebuild confidence. I always start from a brave look at their unique strengths to develop and implement coping strategies that actually work. My role during the therapeutic process is to be a non-directive affirming cheer-leader, with valuable awareness of our innate ability to thrive. I show up for all sessions non-judgmental, empathic, and genuine and I welcome first-time therapy seekers!

I believe everyone has the capability of reaching their highest potential, whether this is achieved with or without the support of a professional.

Throughout my individual work with clients, I take a holistic approach to treatment that is both patient and honest in nature. I challenge my clients in a respectful and safe environment, with client-identified goals leading the journey.

A person plays many roles over the course of one’s life; some fill the role of a Lover, or a Fighter, Mother or Father, Sister, Brother, or Friend. No matter what role you currently play, the world may have pulled you away from the most important role you can play, which is the role of developing the best version of YOU, that's possible. My approach is based on embracing each person as a whole being, and by learning and growing together through the therapeutic relationship. This allows my clients to find and reembrace their true selves, as they redefine and refresh the roles they play in their own lives.

I am passionate about guiding clients on their journey to be their better self. I utilize a person-centered, trauma informed, and empowerment approach when working with clients. I believe therapy is a tool that should be afforded to all individuals, and it is important for clients to have a therapist who looks like them and/or is understanding of their cultural experiences. As a Black clinician that identifies as a cisgender woman, I prioritize working with Black clients in general and Black women and LGBTQI+ persons in particular.

My goal is to gently lead clients toward discovering their blocks to personal growth and fulfillment. I believe it is vital to develop coping strategies in order to experience relief from painful symptoms while gaining insight into your core beliefs. These beliefs can create blocks to achieving the life you want. They govern the way you walk through the world, your thoughts, feelings and behavior. You are not what happened to you, you are what you choose to become. My specialties include individuals seeking to gain mood regulation, recover from trauma, improve self-esteem and create healthy relationships.

Although I use Cognitive-Behavioral as the framework for therapy, I believe that you are the expert when it comes to yourself and that you will show me the best way that I can be of service to you.

Celebrating and understanding each person’s unique differences, while remembering, “we’re all more human than otherwise” best sums up my approach.

The decision to unite with someone for the rest of your life is one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life. With this decision you formally and sincerely promise to have and to hold this person, from the day you decide to wed, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do you part (according to God's Holy Ordinance. The vow is beautiful and perfect in the eyes of God however carrying out these promises are not always easy. And if I'm being honest, we can find ourselves not knowing what the hell we are doing to maintain our once happy union.
