MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY
From my earliest memories, the mantra 'Speak things into existence' has been a guiding principle
Instilled by my parents. This belief—that our words have the power to manifest our reality—is the cornerstone of my professional practice. I understand that the journey to positive self-talk and optimistic thinking is often hindered not just by generational and personal trauma but also by the pervasive struggles with depression and anxiety. My approach goes beyond altering dialogue; it's about healing past wounds to lay a healthier foundation for individuals, couples, and families.
"My practice provides a supportive space for transformation, focusing not only on how we speak to ourselves but also on fundamentally understanding and reshaping the narratives that shape our lives."
Education and Professional Background
I embarked on my journey in psychology with a Bachelor's degree from Spelman College, followed by a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University - Atlanta. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, I bring over a decade of diverse experience to my practice. My career has spanned several settings, including private practices, mental health hospitals, outpatient agencies, the Georgia Crisis and Access Line, and managed healthcare environments. Across these roles, I've had the privilege of supporting families, couples, children, adolescents, and adults. My services range from outpatient counseling and crisis de-escalation to utilization management, each tailored to meet the unique needs of those I work with.
My Approach
My approach goes beyond altering dialogue; it's about healing past wounds to lay a healthier foundation for individuals, couples, and families. I am dedicated to breaking through the barriers of negativity and dysfunction, whether they stem from past traumas or present anxieties, guiding my clients toward resilience, healing, and fulfillment. My practice provides a supportive space for transformation, focusing not only on how we speak to ourselves but also on fundamentally understanding and reshaping the narratives that shape our lives.
Treatment Modalities
At The Life You Seek, we believe in the transformative power of understanding and reshaping our thoughts to manifest the life we envision. Our therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual, drawing on a blend of proven modalities to address the unique challenges and goals of our clients.
01
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is at the heart of our practice, helping you focus on the intricate link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through this approach, we help you explore the automatic and irrational thought processes that lead to distress. By challenging these thoughts and replacing them with more positive and realistic ones, we work towards breaking the cycle of maladaptive thinking patterns. The goal of CBT is to foster improved functioning and satisfaction in your life, empowering you to take control of your thoughts and, consequently, your experiences.
