I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelor’s degree from Grambling State University. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, focusing on creating a safe, empathetic space for you to explore your concerns and strengths. I assist clients with anxiety and stress management, depression and mood disorders, relationship and family issues, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, addiction and substance abuse, mindfulness, work-related stress, LGBTQ+ issues, and more. My approach I use an eclectic therapeutic style, drawing from various theoretical frameworks to meet each client’s unique needs. My strengths include culturally sensitive care, CBT, family/marital therapy, family systems, and trauma-informed care. This flexibility allows me to tailor therapy to the individual. My focus I am passionate about working therapeutically with individuals, couples, children, and families from diverse backgrounds, ages, and cultures. I have experience supporting LGBTQ+ communities, blended families, foster families, and sober living environments. I address trauma, PTSD, childhood behavioral challenges, parenting, addiction, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, marital and premarital concerns, and divorce. My communication style I use active listening, empathy, and open dialogue. I provide clear and constructive feedback and adapt communication to suit each client’s preferences and needs.
