Like the body, our minds also need to be taken care of. Part of this process is being self-aware. In supporting the needs of my clients, I use collaborative and empowering counseling techniques to promote self-awareness and healing. Techniques I use are rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (what you think leads to how you react) mindfulness, and strength-based therapy; to name a few. One size does not fit all, so my eccentric approach allows my clients to craft a mental wellness plan that supports their individual needs/wants/goals.

I believe "When you stand and share your story in an empowering way, your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else."- Iyanla Vanzant. I also believe that at the root of brokenness, pain, anxiety, or even a lack of identity can be unhealed trauma. Primary/secondary trauma may cause us to learn unhealthy coping behaviors. As an African American woman, my challenges have been many. Through my own therapy, I have learned how to handle my anxiety, and learn to step out of the "what if" cycle. It has empowered me to walk in freedom and liberty! Some days are easier than others but being committed to my wellbeing drives me. Therefore, I live by and support client autonomy and sound moral reasoning. Ultimately, I believe that working together breaks stigmas and corrects faulty thinking. Together, we can carve out a path of healing that allows you to live a balanced life. Let us take the journey of being the best version of yourself. Still Unsure? Call or email me!
