I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) from Oakland, CA. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Louisiana, Lafayette and my Master of Social Work degree from Southern University, New Orleans. My diverse background in the health/mental health field extends over seventeen years. My clinical work has equally been with adolescents and adults on restructuring thoughts and behaviors, developing healthy and nurturing relationships, learning new skills to minimize the impact of distressing situations, building self-confidence, enhancing self-awareness, and finding or rediscovering purpose. Clients come to me in need of a professional who can relate to their experiences, and help guide and develop their thought process and decisions. My approach is always non-judgmental, empathetic, and individualized to the unique situation of each of my clients. I draw from a number of methodologies which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My unwavering commitment to my clients stems from my passion and dedication to helping others, and the fulfillment that comes once you start to feel stronger, braver, and comfortable being your authentic self.
