My ideal client has a desire to reach their potential. My practice is grounded on a values and strengths based approach to therapy. As a woman of color, cultural sensitivity remains an important aspect of my practice. I have a history of treating individuals from various racial and ethnic backgrounds. A few conditions I have treated include: changing unwanted and harmful behaviors, reducing anxiety, building self- awareness through conflict management or protecting sobriety through harm reduction or pros and cons reflections.

I have a blended education in social work, psychology and criminal justice and I am a crime victim advocate based therapist. I work with survivors of crime in a therapeutic setting, while also offering resources to navigate the criminal justice system. I can provide tools and insight for reducing anxiety & depression while increasing self-empowerment.

Reaching out for help can be exciting, daunting and overwhelming; but the good news is that you took the first step in visiting my website. So take a deep breath in, trusting the process and energy that brought you here to this very moment; and take a deep breath out, knowing that you are capable. Let's Reframe Fortitude.

The majority of the patients I work with are experiencing symptoms reflecting depression and/ or anxiety based on life stressors (i.e. relationship conflict, surviving a traumatic event leading to intrusive thoughts, low self- worth or unwanted behaviors: addiction). Our treatment plan will reflect a holistic approach to self-empowerment, wellness and restoration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy I utilize most frequently. Our initial sessions will focus on developing a treatment plan aimed at identifying the presenting problem(s), a related goal, and areas of focus. CBT often identifies patterns of thoughts and emotions which impact behaviors. During treatment, we will work to reframe thoughts which may be inhibiting your potential.
