Great to meet you!

I have extensive experience as a Clinical Social Worker, providing mental health services to individuals, children, and families by using Evidence-Based Treatment modalities. I hold an MSW in Social Work from Howard University and a certificate in Co-Occurring Disorders.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I offer a supportive and collaborative approach to therapy. I use a variety of evidence based modalities such as CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused Therapy to assist clients in managing stressors while supporting processing and working through challenges.

What you can expect from our first session

As your therapist, I will help you develop goals and strategies to manage difficult feelings and frustrations, and increase your self-understanding and acceptance. I aim to provide a safe place to listen and understand my clients in an environment that is focused on healing with the use of supportive techniques. Through the use of Evidence-Based Practices) most closely aligned with your needs we will decrease stress/anxiety, improve mood, and increase focus and healthy habits.
