About me
At times life’s struggles can lead to a need to adjust to things thrown your way unexpectedly. During these unexpected struggles, people often feel a loss of identity and a need to adjust. When feelings of anxiety, sadness or adjustments become overwhelming, we may benefit from an objective partner to help us think things through and sort out our choices. I specialize in working with Black, BIPOC, African American teens and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, chronic health concerns, work related issues and life transitions. If you could benefit from a safe space, an empathetic ear, a non-judgmental voice or a reflective place of insight, my training and experience can be of assistance to you.
Over my thirty years in the field, I have worked in the community, schools, detention facilities, youth placement and adult mental health facilities. I have worked with teens struggling with delinquency & identity, adults dealing with depression, career instability and other life concerns. In these areas I have used DBT, mindfulness, CBT, SFBT, IFS and ACT.
It is important to me to create a safe and productive environment for self-growth for my clients. My goal is to assist clients, sort out and achieve their therapeutic goals while providing a safe space for reflection and growth. I'm looking forward to partnering with you on your journey toward wellness and balance. Contact me for an appointment.
