Becoming a counselor was my choice for a profession because I grew up in less than ideal circumstances where poverty and a broken home was my reality. There were many Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), I was exposed to including substance use/abuse and Domestic Violence. The environmental factors that resulted in a need to overcome if I was to survive. I did! Despite the challenges I was subject to as a young black child showed me that any problem that we are willing to identify/name can be overcome. Becoming a clinical counselor provided me with the very unique position/opportunity to represent HOPE and to bear witness that where there is will and determination and an openness to do the work necessary to support positive change, there is the possibility for healing !!!!!  Take the next step!

Clients who are willing to do the work necessary to get to their destination within an environment where I will offer listening, empathy, kindness and support that comes without judgement and the goal of helping you remove the emotional clutter and get to your best life.

Any client who has been so brave and courageous as to take the steps necessary to begin the journey to better mental health.

Providing Clinical Therapy is my passion. I wake up every morning ready to do what is necessary to make a difference in the life of anyone who is struggling with mental illness and who has a desire to get help.

Thriveworks offers the flexibility often needed by patients who do not engage in therapy because hours are not available to accommodate their work schedule or other demands that take them off the traditional schedule options. This means that clients have greater access to much needed mental health care.

Seeing lives change because of access to mental health care when it is needed and knowing that I can facilitate that process.

Listening and A Safe Environment.

A clear understanding of my clients perspective relative to where they are. The first session is where I meet them where they are.

I am committed to the work of a clinical therapist who is committed to the needs of my client.

Cook, clean, read, write, sing, watch movies and most of all hang out with my family both actual and extended.
