LEAD THERAPIST
I have been working with Family Therapeutics, Inc for the past 7 years, and completed my residency as a counselor under Tanya Hull's supervision. I have worked in mental health counseling for the past 15 years in many different settings: direct care staff in a residential setting, intensive in home counselor, therapeutic day treatment counselor, and a therapist in a 45 day crisis stabilization setting.
I enjoy working with children, teenagers, and families. I recently receivedmy certification as a Registered Play Therapist. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength based, and Client-centered interventions in my work with children and adolescents. I include family members in sessions and collaborate with other professionals involved, such as psychiatrists, PCP, and school guidance counselors in order to maximize benefits of services.
I am originally from Ivory Coast, West Africa, and speak French fluently. I received my Bachelors in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia. My Master's degree is in Forensic Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, Illinois. I enjoy learning and watching documentaries and movies about law enforcement. Some of my favorite activities involve traveling, discovery of new places, and spending time with friends and family.
I offer telehealth and in person counseling sessions. I look forward to working with you and your family!
