Professional Introduction Statement I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep commitment to helping individuals heal from trauma, break generational patterns, and reclaim their emotional well-being. Over the years, I have worked in community social work, medical social work, and trauma-informed care settings, where I have supported individuals navigating complex challenges, including grief, anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of systemic oppression. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices while honoring the cultural, spiritual, and historical contexts that shape who you are. I integrate Christian faith principles for clients who find strength in their spirituality, and I am committed to creating a space where you can feel your emotions fully, rather than suppress them to survive. I specialize in helping clients identify and interrupt patterns of people-pleasing, boundary violations, and self-neglect that often stem from survival mechanisms passed down through generations. I am also trained in grief work that expands beyond traditional definitions of loss, recognizing that we grieve not only death but also relationships, identity shifts, cultural displacement, and dreams deferred. My goal is not just to help you manage symptoms but to support you in thriving, honoring your ancestors, and living in ways that reflect your true values and desires. You deserve a therapist who sees you fully and walks alongside you with both clinical expertise and genuine understanding.
