I am a black, female therapist. I am caring and honest; I have over 10 years experience as a mental health professional supporting others in transitioning from surviving to thriving. I love to laugh and smile—humor is a tool I use in my work. I lead with authenticity and invite those that I work with to do the same.
My approach to therapy is person-centered. I meet people where they are and support/assist them in creating a plan for recovery and healing that is specific to them. I create safe spaces that allow others to be open with not just me but with themselves.
My first sessions are used as information collecting opportunities— I discuss background history and prompt(s) for engaging in therapy. Goals for therapy are identified and discussed. This time also allows for the opportunity for clients to ask any questions about our upcoming time together.
