About My Clients
Typically, I work best with clients who identify as members of the Black and POC community. Additionally, my clients tend to have a spiritual element, incorporating non-traditional beliefs into the scientific approach to therapy. I'm most comfortable working in the realm of trauma processing, particularly with racial trauma. Additionally, I fit best with clients who are ready and committed to change, but may need additional support in certain aspects of their healing journey.
My Background and Approach
One of my favorite life mantras is a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent". Thus, I enjoy helping others embrace their power. One of the most impactful ways to do that is a change in thought process. It has such a significant influence on the way we react and the type of emotions we feel. Although my primary way of helping others address their mental wellbeing is through a cognitive and behavioral approach, I believe integrating techniques catered to the individual is essential for change. Additionally, I believe our mental health is interconnected with our physical and spiritual well-being. Therefore, my focus is to help others align those elements for improved overall health.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I was drawn to the field in high school when I became obsessed, admittedly, with understanding 'why' people act as they do (more so as a substitute for understanding myself). That obsession grew more into a focal point, over the years, to wanting to help others understand their 'why'; even more so to transcend past that point to personal growth and fulfillment. Holistic Healing Counseling, LLC is a space I created where mental healthcare focuses on integrating the mind, body and spirit that can become out of balance with challenges such as depression, anxiety and trauma. As a Black woman, I am passionate about addressing cultural specific barriers faced within the Black and POC community - specialty focus on racial trauma.
