My approach begins with building a trusting therapeutic relationship with clients and meeting them where they are. There is no right or wrong starting point, and clients benefit from knowing they are supported every step of the way. As a Black Therapist, my desire is to close the gap of Inequality of care, lack of cultural competency, distrust, stigma and bias for people of color and create a safe environment to receive culturally sensitive care.
Throughout the counseling process, clients begin making positive changes through self-exploration, learning positive copings skills, addressing behavioral changes, improving relationships, and practicing self-care. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I work to empower clients by using a variety of therapeutic modalities specific to their needs. Interventions include, Person-Centered, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Spirituality. Through this holistic approach, clients can discover new meanings and gain self-awareness to transform their lives.
