My communication style

Every person has a unique communication style. For my communication style, I take a direct approach by initiating important conversations while allowing you time to process your thoughts.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose to build my career in Social Work because I love helping people. I thought about the differences that I wanted to make in society and my community. Providing emotional support makes a difference, but providing guidance along with emotional support yields amazing results.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative effort between me and you. Your input is most important in forming goals and setting objectives to meet those goals. More importantly, goals must be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely (S.M.A.R.T.).

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, and I'll ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
• Christian
