I received my Master of Social Work from Howard University located in the District of Columbia. I have a strong passion for helping my clients uncover and eliminate any unhelpful thought patterns that have been hindering them from having a fulfilled, positive and productive life. I know that life can be hard, especially when it's full of traumatic events and life transitions. I view therapy as a road trip, where you are the driver, and I am the passenger riding along to keep you company. My role as the therapist is the passenger and I assist you to reach your destination. You may ask, what does that look like? Imagine that you are on a road trip with friends and each of them are in charge of something different. Such as, someone is in charge of the directions, someone is responsible for the music while traveling to make sure you do not fall asleep behind the wheel. Think of me as all of those individuals put into one person. My main goal is to be here to support and guide you to your destination. Therapy is not always an easy trip but as long as you are willing to keep putting forth the effort to reach your destination, I'll be there to support.
