About My Clients

With time and space given to the self, clarity is possible for all. We rarely take time for ourselves to process traumas. Everyone has their own trauma. What matters is how we deal with it. Mindfulness is how I found my own clarity so I prefer to incorporate that into my sessions in any way possible. Dialectical behavioral Therapy (DBT) includes mindfulness so I utilize that modality most, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

My Background and Approach

I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2010. I then worked in the foster care setting for three years before starting my dream job as a therapist, all in various areas surrounding Washington, D.C. Specializing in Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD, I have treated clients of all ages and ethnicities, but especially adolescents and young adults who are Latino and/or Black/African American. Mindfulness is how I found my own clarity so I prefer to incorporate that into my sessions in any way possible. Dialectical behavioral Therapy (DBT) includes mindfulness so I utilize that modality most, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am also a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My overall passion is reducing the stigma against mental health and for everyone to have equal access to mental health resources. Clarity Wellness Solutions was born from that passion. With time and space given to the self, clarity is possible for all. We rarely take time for ourselves to process traumas. Everyone has their own trauma. What matters is how we deal with it.
