My ideal client or couple is seeking mental health support regarding past trauma(s), depression/anxiety, workplace stressors, relationship/sex/intimacy issues, family issues... basically anything that is impacting their ideal functioning. They want to process and put forth work towards therapeutic goals to improve their daily functioning. They may be POC, LGBTQIA+, parents, high performing professionals, and/or emerging adults. Most importantly, they are ready and willing to participate in sessions to work towards their healing.
I utilize a person-centered & eclectic approach to truly customize an effective experience. I come with over 10 years of direct clinical practice & training in CBT, DBT, Narrative & Talk Therapy, Sex Therapy, Anger Management & Motivational Interviewing. I am a Black woman (wife and mother) who is member of the LGBT+ community and Sex/Kink Positive.
I believe in developing strong rapport with my clients so that they can have a safe place to share intimate details that may impact their journey towards healing. My greatest passion is empowering others to develop and evolve into the self that they wish to become. If you would like to start your journey with me, please schedule a session today!
