I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who started my career in mental health over 10 years ago. My motivation and passion are with healing others who are experiencing life struggles and are seeking assistance with coping with life stressors.
My approach
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address thought processes and behaviors.
My focus
I am willing to see individuals, families, couples, and minors (ages 13-17). My specialties include anger management, behavioral issues, coping skills, depression, divorce, family conflict, infidelity, life coaching, LGBTQIA+, mood disorders, parenting, self-esteem, stress, pregnancy/prenatal/postpartum issues, and relationship issues.
My communication style
I believe in open, honest communication where you feel heard and supported. My style is warm and collaborative - I\'m here to listen without judgment and work with you to find solutions. Expect me to ask clarifying questions, offer feedback and guidance, and adapt to what works best for you.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey in mental healthcare began with assisting a family member to cope with postpartum depression and divorce. This experience motivated me to pursue a Master of Arts degree and complete my clinical hours for licensure between March 2015 and March 2018 under the supervision of LaTonya Bell, LPC.
My goals for you
My goal is to help you develop healthy coping skills, improve your relationships, build self-esteem, and find effective solutions to the challenges you are facing. I am here to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to process your thoughts and emotions.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I will ask questions to gain a better understanding of your background, current situation, and any relevant history. We will work together to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. You can expect me to listen actively, offer feedback and guidance, and collaborate with you every step of the way.
