About

hello! Am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I received my Master's degree from the University of Maryland system Bowie State University School of Adlerian Psychology with an emphasis in family therapy. Following my family therapy training, I began to work in the domestic violence and trauma areas of mental health and have been working with survivors of trauma for the past 28 years. I help people move past earlier trauma to create the life that they want to experience in the present. I have worked the men women and children. I also work with traumatized families. My approach is client-centered and holistic. I love to create hope with my clients. You can be free to experience joy again. I believe in you.
