Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Candidate in Southfield, MI

About My Clients

My ideal client is someone seeking a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating life's challenges, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My practice is particularly attuned to those experiencing trauma (e.g. religious, racial trauma, et cetera) offering a supportive environment for healing and self-discovery.

My Background and Approach

As a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW), I bring a wealth of experience in mental health therapy, chaplaincy, and holistic support to my practice. My background includes specialized training in trauma-informed care, with a focus on addressing religious and racial trauma. My diverse professional journey has equipped me with the skills to help clients navigate complex life challenges with empathy and understanding. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, emphasizing a nurturing and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families across various settings, including clinical environments and community organizations. This broad experience allows me to offer a nuanced and compassionate approach tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating your mental health I am here to help.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am deeply committed to anti-racism and the decentering of oppression in all forms. In my practice, I strive to create a space where clients of all backgrounds, particularly those from marginalized communities, can feel seen, heard, and valued. My approach to therapy is rooted in a profound understanding of how systemic injustices—such as racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination—impact mental health and well-being. I actively work to dismantle these oppressive systems within the therapeutic space by promoting healing, empowerment, and resilience. As a therapist who identifies with the Black community, I am passionate about advocating for social justice and equity. I engage in community work that addresses issues like homelessness, human trafficking, and food insecurity. My involvement extends to support movements like Black Lives Matter, which aligns with my belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This commitment informs my practice!
