I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults with disabilities, and people from a wide variety of backgrounds. As a parent , I am familiar with the challenges of raising a child who has special needs. I believe that all therapy should be trauma informed, as we all do the best we can with what we know and what has worked for us in the past. My primary approaches to therapy are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Services are designed to be brief and solution-focused in nature. The goal is to assist clients in identifying and mobilizing their own coping skills and natural supports as well as learning new skills and ways of dealing with their environment. The goal of treatment is not solution of problems, but rather the enhancement and development of skills to enable the client to engage in effective problem solving once out of the office.

We live in a society where going to the doctor for a checkup is customary but checking on our emotional and mental wellbeing stigmatizes us. I want to applaud you for taking this first step of looking for a therapist which can be intimidating for many; but let me reassure you that “Talking is therapy”. When I was growing up, mental health was not a topic for discussion, thus, I have a strong desire to break the silence and stigma of receiving mental health services. During my college years, I struggled with adjusting with different phases in life, but going to therapy was intimidating for me. Don't suffer in silence!

I believe that people come to therapy for many reasons but their overall goal is to improve upon their lives and themselves. There is nothing more satisfying to me than helping my clients foster a better understanding of themselves and their relationships in order to achieve a happier, more successful and productive life. I integrate Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to find the best combination to elicit change and personal growth in my clients.

Alice Walker said, "the most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." Have you given up your power? Depression and anxiety can make us believe that we don't have any power and that things are hopeless. If you struggle with your daily life, relationships, self-esteem, and adjustment to changes, therapy can be a wonderful tool to help aid in your growth and find your power. Black and brown women have a lot coming at them and it can often make you feel powerless, let's work together to work through those things that may be holding you down.

I most often work with an individual adult or teen who wants healing and growth: healing from trauma and pain, growth in relationships with others and within self. Most clients have a desire for more connection, truthfulness about themselves and their world, peace, and spiritual life. I also enjoy working with couples and families toward better communication and relational health.

When I decided to pursue a career as a therapist I did so because I wanted to make the world a better place, and decided to do that by helping one person at a time . My primary approach to mental health counseling is the Person -Centered approach . This means I believe that no one knows you better than you know yourself. It is my job to help you identify goals , improve communication , strengthen self-esteem and develop solutions and coping skills. During the counseling process you are in the driver's seat, I am just a GPS to help you on the road to better mental health. However, I'm not closed to other counseling approaches.

In the impactful words of Michelle Obama, "There's power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice". We all have our own individual stories, shaped by our life experiences, that can change and affect us. Sometimes these experiences may lead us to a place to explore our stories, identify what has altered them, and allow us to decide how we would like our stories to look moving forward. Through the therapeutic journey set at your own pace, the opportunity for healing can take place through connection, conversation, and exploration. Are you interested in exploring your story?

Accepting New Patients!!! Madeline Albright said, "It took a long time for me to develop a voice and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent." If you are looking to develop your voice and sense of self while overcoming the pain of trauma, I am here to help. Many times, we as women don't use our voice for fear of not being believed, heard, or understood. We keep our pain inside, and it's not healthy.
