I am open and accepting of all types of people and concerns and consider my counseling approach non-bias and compassionate. I draw from a few types of counseling theories and interventions though out the duration of my sessions. I am based in person centered therapy but frequently utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectic behavioral therapy, solutions focused and mindfulness techniques. My sessions are client driven, meaning that the client determines the goals and pace of therapy. Counseling is conducted for a variety of reasons, but everyone has one commonality in their reason for seeking counseling – change. counseling is the gateway to making personal changes and can assist in solving particular problems or learning to lead a healthier life. The counseling process can be interesting and exciting. It can also, at times, be very challenging, difficult and even painful. However, the goal will always be to bring about positive changes. I look forward to taking this journey with you.

I have counseling experience with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and groups. A great deal of my counseling experience has centered on adolescents and adults battling with mental health and substance abuse issues. I have recently provided these services to undergraduate and graduate college students at the Syracuse University's counseling center. My orientation to counseling is based on a CBT framework of counseling and is informed by psychological assessment and treatment. I also use an intersectional feminist framework to help clients understand how various social constructs impact the intersections of their identities. I believe that the primary process of counseling involves helping clients gain insight to their presenting challenges in order to create sustainable changes.. As a burgeoning counselor educator, I aspire to engage students and clients through approaches that affirm less privileged identities. As a Black feminist, my research explores the intersections of class, race/ethnicity, gender, spirituality, sexual orientation and social justice.
