Accepting clients Last Updated 6 days ago

First I would like to congratulate you on taking the first step of the journey of self exploration. I am excited to work with you to begin living in your truth and strength. I have been working in the profession of social work for 20+ years and specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, ADHD, stress and anger management and relationship problems. As an African American, single parent , I have endured domestic violence, divorce and ADHD personally. I am confident that my professional and personal background will assist in effectively engaging with a non judge mental approach. My goal is to educate, guide and provide supportive counseling services to individuals to get through trials and tribulations.
