Description
I strongly believe that human growth requires non-judgment, authenticity, and the willingness to face one's challenges head on. It is a deep passion of mine to foster a space that welcomes vulnerability and self-compassion. I believe that none of us can go through our life's journey alone. In our therapeutic relationship, it is my hope that you will never feel alone on your own path through healing. I aspire to offer guidance as clients work to acknowledge their individual strengths as well as positives within their lives in order to achieve their personal goals. My therapeutic style encompasses humanistic, psychodynamic, and strengths-based approaches. In addition, I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy techniques.
I have experience working in various environments including residential treatment facilities, transitional housing facilities, behavioral health hospitals, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming, and private practice. I have collaborated with clients ranging from adolescents to older adults for individual, couples, group and family counseling. I have worked with individuals struggling with mood, anxiety, substance use, attention deficit, and eating disorders as well as social inequality. As a black woman myself, my GREATEST passion is supporting other black women as I believe it is such an important and necessary work!
A little about me: I value consistently having a little fun in my day to day life. In my freetime I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, traveling, dancing, meditating, going to concerts and other events, capturing moments through photography, and cuddling my little yorkie!
