My communication style

I am very direct, but open and friendly in my communication style. I like to ask clarifying questions as well to make sure I am understanding your full perspective.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a Social Worker, I made it my mission to work with numerous populations in order to meet people where they are, instead of their diagnosis. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient treatment, substance abuse programs, in the prison system, and in the military. Each opportunity has taught me to look at the person, not the diagnosis.

My goals for you

Discussion of goals and goal setting is done in the first two sessions. I will help you stay on target for those goals, but also help address any needs that come up in that process. I like to reevaluate and update progress seasonally.

Our first session

My first session is a brief introduction of myself, then jumping straight into what brought you to therapy and how I could potentially help. I provide education and support, in addition to things to work on prior to our next session, or supporting you finding a better match.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
