My approach
I specialize in a client-centered, solution-focused therapeutic approach, integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address various mental health concerns. Committed to understanding each client's unique experiences, I emphasize collaborative goal-setting and practical strategies to foster personal growth and resilience. My background enables me to support individuals in navigating life's difficulties while promoting positive change and emotional well-being.
My focus
I serve a diverse population, with special emphasis on military service members, veterans, and their families. I am also committed to culturally competent care for LGBTQIA individuals, Hispanic communities, Pacific Islanders, and African Americans. Understanding the unique challenges these groups face, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space for exploring thoughts and feelings, developing coping strategies, and thriving personally and professionally.
My communication style
1. Empathy and Active Listening – Demonstrating genuine understanding and validating clients’ emotions and experiences.
2. Clarity and Directness – Communicating straightforwardly, avoiding jargon to help clients feel at ease and fully understand the process and strategies.
3. Warmth and Supportiveness – Creating a welcoming atmosphere where clients feel safe to express themselves, fostering trust and openness.
Education
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Howard University and my Bachelor’s degree from Florida A&M University.
