My Background
I have had a passion for helping others since an early age, helping tutor disadvantaged elementary school age children while in high school. After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Spelman College, I began working for the Department of Family and Children Services where I observed various underlying issues that impact families. I then went back to further my education and earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. With over 10 years in the field of social work, I have experience with family and children services, community based therapeutic services, crisis stabilization, and residential treatment. My passion continues to be serving those who need assistance with coping with life’s stressors.

How Therapy at PORT Works
-
Inquire
Use our online contact form and let us know which of our Therapists you would like to work with. We will promptly connect you to your preferred provider for your brief free phone consultation. We want to go the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable from the start.
-
Get to the Root
Your therapy will likely start out with having sessions either weekly or biweekly. With your Therapist, you will get a better understanding of your presenting concerns and how they came about. Your therapist will also help you assess your level of coping and teach you additional strategies.
-
Do the Work
The bulk of your experience will be in doing the work, both in & out of sessions. You will work through implementing techniques to improve your mood and engagement in relationships in session, while completing tasks assigned by your therapist to further your progress.
-
Have Better Relationships
This is the point where you get to be #RelationshipGoals. You are having fewer therapy sessions and experiencing emotional healing from past relationship trauma. You are in a place where you are feeling more competent to handle whatever comes next.
