My approach
Today is a new day and, we can break life down to 1 day at a time. Dialectal Behavior Therapy teaches us about the balance between our emotional responses and logical responses. DBT further encourages us to readjust our actions (response-behaviors) in an intentional attempt to achieve the Wise Mind. This approach uses a cognitive framework for taking opposite action. Using Dialectal Behavior Therapy and Mindful CBT modalities, the Client is guided to mindfully reject old, futile behavior patterns and responses for the benefits of living in your Wise Mind Wise Mind = Middle Path. This is where we find acceptance, truth and freedom. We learn the action of letting. Including, letting go of the past.
My focus
I work with adults between the ages of 18-100 years old. I also provide couples and pre-marital counseling. Please All, COME AS YOU ARE! My Practice is a perfect integration of Clinical interventions/modalities along with Soul-Care Centered solutions. I seek to guide my clients through a personal growth journey that is measurable. My primary focus is on the Mental Healthcare needs of Black, Indigenous People of Color.

My goals for you
During the first 1-2 initial assessment sessions, I provide the patient with homework centered around created 3-5 achievable goals they are willing to initiate commitment to.
My first session with you
Session 1 is designed to get to know each other a little (build rapport), establishing an atmosphere of safety and comfort. But mainly, the initial session is for information gathering. I will guide the client through a number of bio-psychosocial questions in order to get a better sense of the patient's history, Strengths, and difficulties. Most importantly, the issues motivating the client to seek mental healthcare support.
