About My Clients
Are you struggling with daily life stresses or looking to prioritize mental wellness? I’m here to support you in fostering open dialogue, self-determination, and empowerment on your journey to mental health stability. For those seeking to integrate spirituality, I honor religious and cultural principles, blending culturally responsive care with a holistic approach to reduce stigma, embrace emotional well-being, and nurture spiritual growth for a balanced, fulfilling life.
My Background and Approach
With over 20 years of experience supporting individuals with mental health diagnoses, my therapeutic approach integrates the skills I've refined through diverse professional and volunteer roles, combined with my academic background. This enables me to offer a personalized, person-centered approach that truly meets the unique needs of each client. I have extensive experience working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and other behavioral challenges. Through this, I've mastered a range of therapeutic modalities and techniques, which I will tailor collaboratively with you to help achieve mental health stability and long-term well-being. My approach emphasizes self-determination and empowerment, ensuring that techniques are client driven. I have worked with adults, families, couples, and minority groups, integrating my education and experience to develop strategies that foster resilience, emotional well-being, and personal growth.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I was drawn to therapy with the desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Having faced trauma myself, I believe therapy is an essential part of the healing journey. I’ve worked extensively with children, parents, and prospective foster families to advocate for their needs and the well-being of those in the system, and I’ve spoken on panels to provide insights about children in need. My advocacy extends to educating community leaders and religious groups about the misconceptions and stigmas surrounding mental health. As a woman of color, I’m passionate about empowering and uplifting other women, providing the support they need to build strength and resilience. As a mom of five amazing kids, I strive to teach them empathy and understanding toward the individuals I work so hard to represent. To me, therapy is not just about healing, but about creating lasting, positive change in the lives of those seeking empowerment.
