About me
Since my childhood, I have had a passion for psychology, education, social work and social justice. I grew up in southern Virginia in a family of educators committed to community activism and empowerment through education. Following high school, I moved to Atlanta and attended Spelman College, where I received my bachelor's degree in psychology and later attended University of Georgia for my master's degree in social work.
As a clinical social worker, I have been employed by academia, hospitals, community clinics, governmental agencies and private programs. Some of the diverse and vulnerable populations I have worked with include: veterans, HIV/AIDS patients, chemically dependent adults, senior citizens, adolescents, child abuse victims, medically fragile and chronically mentally ill patients as well as individuals going through transitions in life. I am fascinated by the study of the human mind and behavior. I view my profession as a therapist to be a calling and an awesome gift that is filled with challenges, mysteries and responsibility. I feel very fortunate to work for Kaiser Permanente as a therapist and as a member of a great team in the Behavioral Health Department.
About my practice
I currently provide individual and group therapy for adults, specializing in clients with depression, anxiety, work/life stressors, grief/loss and self esteem issues. My approach to therapy is calm, grounded, attentive, open minded, non-judgmental, caring and compassionate. I practice in a client-centered style, which means I meet members where they are and adapt my style to best serve their needs. My therapeutic approach involves the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), positive psychology interventions and mindfulness interventions. CBT/mindfulness has been found to be helpful in managing stress, controlling thoughts and finding acceptance in things you may not be able to change. Results can be long-lasting and life changing. Positive psychology involves scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals to thrive. Because my faith is an integral part of my story, I also utilize spiritual perspectives in therapy for those who desire and request it. I believe that clients drive the treatment process and I see myself as the facilitator in the process. My goal is to help members develop and implement healthy coping skills that lead to improved functioning and maintaining a healthy balance of mind, body and spirit.
How I thrive
Periodically, I have been able to thrive by traveling to places near and far. I love experiencing the adventure of life in different locations and cultures. My happy places are: beautiful beaches, mountain hikes, cultural tours and peaceful gardens. My most memorable travel has been four weeks spent touring Europe and visits to South Africa, Mexico, Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Maui and Oahu. I love to travel and take lots of photos to later reflect on the beautiful memories that rejuvenate and revitalize me.
I thrive daily with prayer, meditation and movement (yoga, exercising, walking). I enjoy listening to music and reading for pleasure. Most importantly, I thrive by sharing love and laughter during times spent with my loved ones.
