I have been practicing social work for 15 years; the last 3 in the field of counseling/therapy. I attended Southern University and A&M College and Tulane University's School of Social Work where I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s of Science in Social Work degrees respectively. I have worked in what is considered the trenches, community health, and now healthcare. Empowering people through the profession of Social Work is my passion.
My approach to therapy is holistic. I look at the person's entire life - who and what influences them, their daily demands, self-care practices, and their authenticity with themselves. I like to focus on the mind, body, and spirit as they are all are interconnected. My approach is also inclusive of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy while helping the client to build upon their strengths through an empowerment approach.
During your first session, you can expect warmth, empathy, and rapport building. I have a very calm and laid-back demeanor which shines through. I am nonjudgmental, yet I still hold my clients to the goals they set for themselves. I will not work harder than you, but I will walk alongside you and cheer you on.
