My primary clinical specialty is grief-related acute stress and traumatic stress. Informed by (1) my in-depth studies of trauma, grief and bereavement; (2) my own experience with traumatic perinatal loss and stress; and (3) my religious, spiritual and holistic wellness studies and practices, including those coming out of Christian theological perspectives, I take an integrative approach that is intensive, structured, holistic, and personalized.
We begin with 18 structured sessions over eight weeks. Taking all dimensions of your being into consideration, the primary goal during this time is to reduce the intensity of your stress reactions across physiological, sensational & perceptual, emotional, cognitive-behavioral, and social domains to sub-clinical levels. An initial 8 structured sessions over eight weeks is available to those entering counseling reporting sub-clinical levels of stress across symptoms.
Although I can make no guarantees, my clients experiencing clinical levels of stress tend to report noteworthy decreases in symptoms by the end of the first two weeks. After the initial eight weeks of support, all clients are invited to open-ended counseling, where we can continue to work on keeping your stress levels at bay while we explore deeper matters of post-loss existence, identity, and meaning.
Humanistic, somatic, nature-based, expressive art, emotion-focused, and cognitive-behavioral interventions are central in this work. I also consistently integrate interventions coming out of the Black Church religious tradition- namely personalized gospel, scriptural, and sermonic meditations.
I am an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance for payment. I do, however, provide what are known as "Statements for Insurance Reimbursement" or "Superbills." PPO insurance plan holders can submit these statements to get a portion of my fee reimbursed. I accept all major credit cards and employer sponsored HSA and FSA cards for payment.
Please check your specific healthcare plan for information on your "Out-Of-Network" behavioral health coverage prior to your free consultation if you hope to be reimbursed.
Currently, my counseling service is available to Maryland residents only.
