Description
I am a proud native of Cleveland, Ohio where I obtained my Bachelors of Social Work from Cleveland State University and earned a Masters of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve's MSASS program. I am extremely passionate about serving individuals of the black, brown, marginalized and impoverished communities and the issues unique to these populations. My clinical experience includes work with anxiety, depression, complex trauma/PTSD, grief and loss, infidelity and divorce, child sexual abuse and assault, work related stress, and life transitions.
While working with clients, I employ various psychotherapy models and methods including but not limited to:
Supportive Psychotherapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Narrative Therapy
Personal Skills Development
Brief Psychotherapy
Crisis Intervention
My role as a therapist is simply to empower and assist you with identifying specific problem areas and formulate goals around those areas. I am not here to tell you what to do. I am here to listen, as a support and guide. We are a team!
I charge myself with using the same self-care principles that I encourage in clients. My belief is that one’s mental/emotional health and ability to become self-aware are the key essentials to living a more realistic and healthy life. I am honored and excited to walk on this journey of healing with you!
