I believe that embarking on therapy can be a big step in one’s life that can bring change to one's reality. I believe many people do not have the space to truly express themselves. You deserve to be seen and heard. I strive to create a safe space to express themselves openly. I make it my mission to meet clients with compassion and respect. I believe that the power of change is within all of us and this step is a testament to that journey.
I utilize several evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and others, depending on one’s treatment goals. I have experience working with trauma, depression, anxiety, multicultural and identity issues, and racial and gender issues.
Ubuntu is an African proverb meaning, "I am because we are." It speaks to the power of building a community that is sustainable for one to thrive. Therapy can be one of those pillars of creating that community. As an African-American woman, I value the power of healing and self-discovery for my clients. You are not alone please feel free to reach out.
