You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it”-UnknownInspiration is a person, place, experience that makes someone want to do something or create something. I like to think of therapy as a place to inspire people to do better, to want better, to create better and to live better. My ultimate goal is for my clients to walk out feeling empowered and courageous about obstacles that may come their way. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where vulnerabilities are embraced and used to shape people into the human beings they were created to be.With 7 years in the field I have taken a special interest in the following areas: Pre-marital counseling, Marital counseling, infidelity, divorce, blended families, adolescent behaviors, parent-child conflict, depression, bi-polar disorder, anger management, self esteem issues, male/female issues, stress management, and co-dependency.I have a strong passion for treating African-American/Caribbean families but remain very open to practicing and expanding my expertise beyond any specific culture. I welcome clients of all races and who are interested in participating in short term or long term therapy.
