I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a concentration in clinical social work, social casework, and social work administration. I have been working in the Social Work field since 2008 addressing partner violence and chronic conditions such as HIV, HCV, Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases, etc. As a practitioner, my goal is to create a brave environment for all people, to respect their human dignity, and self-determination. After all, you are the expert in your life and I will work alongside with you to remind you again that you do matter and you do have the ability to change your life. During our therapeutic alliance, I would like to provide you with the tools to make the best decisions for your life by using solution focus therapy and work on seeing how our thoughts patterns, the labels that we give ourselves can hinder our ability to grow, and to be healthier. As a Coach, I am here to evoke transformation and to invite your greatness. As a practitioner, a Coactive-Coach, and a global citizen, my main goal is to be culturally competent. I speak English, French, Swahili fluently and I am learning Spanish. I believe that we are all resilient, but at times, life crises, discrimination, stigma, illnesses impede our ability to reach our potential.
