My counseling experience includes treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My practice is highly individualized to address common symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I treat my clients as unique individuals with their own distinctive concerns impacting their lives. I greatly honor the trust I am given by them to help them navigate difficult times and unexpected life changes. I believe the decision to start the journey towards healing and reconciliation demonstrates a great deal of courage and resolve. Together we can discern a path towards a more balanced and joyful life. Emotional/spiritual growth and symptom reduction are the primary focus of practice. I accomplish this by helping clients understand how their internal life is interacting with outside stressors causing discomfort and impeding growth. I also endeavor to help clients recognize destructive patterns in personal relationships that may be keeping them from further healing. In addition to private practice experience, I also have pastoral/spiritual counseling experience.

Recognizing that things need to change is a good thing. It's usually the first step toward making improvements in our lives. I'm here to help you make things more manageable and to help you increase you satisfaction in life. Reaching out for help might be difficult and somewhat scary but it doesn’t have to be. My style of counseling is laid back, non-judgmental and accepting. Once we get started the initial anxiety of getting setup will ease and we can start working toward the goals that you have in mind or that I can help you find.

Great to meet you. I am so glad you are here! I am an LCSW, licensed to practice in the state of Virginia. I received my B.A. in Sociology from Norfolk State University and a Master's in Social Work in Advanced Clinical Practice from Walden University. I specialize in treating youth and adolescents, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and women's issues. I utilize a person-centered, solution-focused approach to empower my clients to effect change in their lives. My approach to therapy is to empower individuals to achieve the goals they set for themselves. I support my clients by providing a safe and non-judgmental space to be seen and heard. I create an environment that is supportive and productive. My clients can expect to leave our sessions feeling motivated and also challenged to make effective changes.

I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, NY. I earned a BA in Psychology from Hampton University, a MA in Clinical Psychology from Norfolk State University and an Ed.S in Counseling Education from Hampton University. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples in different settings including psychiatric hospitals, schools, private and community agencies.

I offer a unique style—a blend of insight-oriented, practical problem solving and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients achieve their goals.  

Life can be tough and there is so much that isn't under our control. Getting overwhelmed with emotions or self-critical thoughts only adds unnecessary suffering and therapy can help. I utilize a collaborative person-centered perspective that recognizes your expertise in your life. My practice is based upon use of mindfulness, narrative, cognitive and behavioral techniques to improve function in daily life. All of the work that I do is rooted in empathy and I am passionate about assisting clients through work, home and family stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, disability, grief and other life transitions.

Welcome to my page! I practice in California, Virginia, and Florida.  My style is very humanistic. I believe that all humans are hard-wired toward growth and healing, sometimes we just get stuck. Together we can uncover what gets you stuck and help you move toward a life that’s more meaningful. 

I feel that clients shouldn't have to be in therapy forever! While co-creating this process with you, I strive to balance my active listening with imparting active, hands-on techniques to help you reclaim your narrative and overcome obstacles in your path. I feel it's about more water rather than less soda, so to speak, and take both a clinical and holistic approach to helping you enhance alignment and experience deeper fulfillment in your journey. Along with my LCSW, I am trained in EMDR, certified in Theta Healing, Reiki, Transformational Life Coaching, and Therapeutic Touch, and Master Practitioner certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy.
