About me
I'm an experienced mental health counselor who is dedicated to helping those who have been underserved by the mainstream counseling community.
Everyone is looking for a safe place to be themselves and to heal. As I engage with Christian faith-based people and people of color I often hear, “there’s no safe place for me to go for mental health help that won’t make me leave my faith” and “There aren’t any therapist who look like me.” This is a lonely place to be, needing helping, but feeling ostracized because of your faith or skin color. My passion is helping those who are of faith and of color have a safe place to heal and restore their inherent dignity, value, and worth.
Three words that describe my therapeutic style are: warm, compassionate and direct. My approach is an integration of mental health tools and Christian faith-based principles and I believe every person has value, worth, and purpose and I seek to help you to see that about yourself.
I would so much like the honor and pleasure of walking along side you as you start healing from the hurts and pains you've been through; with me, you'll find a safe, warm and non-judgmental space to heal.
