Great to meet you!
"I am a female of African American ethnicity and understand the difficulties that come with maintaining a work-life balance. I firmly believe in the Golden Rule - treating others the way I want to be treated. I am enthusiastic about assisting others in overcoming obstacles and achieving their full potential. I recognize that everyone is unique and requires a different approach to counseling, so I will adjust my style to suit each individual."
My approach to therapy
I use Person-Centered, CBT, and solution-focused therapies to help individuals manage depression, anxiety, behavior concerns, anger, and life issues. I tailor my counseling style to meet each person's unique needs.
What you can expect from me
A safe and nonjudgmental environment where individuals can freely explore and discuss their concerns leads to increased feelings of empowerment.
