As a seasoned therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience, I specialize in trauma, substance abuse, and a range of mental health concerns, providing compassionate care to individuals, families, and communities. I hold a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor status, and I am a BOOST Approved Supervisor. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner (LSATP) in Virginia, with certifications as an Addictions-Informed Mental Health Professional and Clinical Trauma Professional.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strength-based, and holistic, with an emphasis on evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing. I work with clients facing trauma-related disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and a variety of life stressors, including academic and behavioral challenges in children and adolescents.

In addition to traditional therapy, I offer Christian counseling for those seeking faith-based support, ensuring a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for healing.

My recent research focused on posttraumatic growth, resilience, and trauma in African American women, reflecting my commitment to advancing knowledge in the field. With extensive experience across community, state, and private facilities, I’ve worked as a community counselor, crisis counselor, and residential counselor, supporting individuals struggling with mental health diagnoses and substance abuse.

I am deeply committed to improving mental health services and contributing to the well-being of individuals, families, and communities through accessible, high-quality care.
