I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) dedicated to supporting individuals, families, and communities in improving their mental health and overall well-being. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Fayetteville State University and my Master of Social Work from Johnson C. Smith University. I currently provide outpatient therapy services in Charlotte, North Carolina, working with diverse populations who may be experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, life stressors, relationship concerns, and substance use recovery.
In my clinical work, I conduct comprehensive assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and provide individual, group, and family therapy sessions tailored to each client’s unique needs. I am also experienced in crisis intervention, risk assessments, and safety planning when needed. I am ASAM trained and have experience working in both outpatient mental health and substance use treatment settings. My background also includes providing therapy services through private practice and working as a Registered Behavior Technician, where I used Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques to support skill development and behavioral growth.
My therapeutic approach is strength-based and solution-focused, meaning I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, resilience, and internal resources while developing practical strategies to address life’s challenges. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to help clients better understand their patterns, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.
I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome obstacles, increase self-awareness, and build healthier coping strategies. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that supports growth, healing, and resilience. My goal is to ensure that clients feel heard, supported, and equipped with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges while developing greater confidence, stability, and self-worth.
