Professional Profile
Hello, and welcome to The Empowering Space, a space I founded in 2020 with the vision of mentoring future clinicians and expanding access to equitable, high-quality mental health services.
Originally from Greenville, Mississippi, I bring over a decade of experience as a Licensed Clinical and Independent Social Worker, a board-approved supervisor, and a mentor to emerging professionals. My career has spanned clinical care, military behavioral health, higher education, and leadership development, allowing me to bridge the gap between academic preparation and real-world practice.
Today, I serve as a Senior Social Worker with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and as a Behavioral Health Officer in the U.S. Army National Guard, where I continue my mission of advocating for holistic care and empowering the next generation of social workers.
Whether you’re a client seeking compassionate behavioral health support or a clinician pursuing professional growth, I’m honored to walk alongside you as you take your next step forward.
