ABOUT ME 

320x400.jpeg

I often say that therapy chose me. My life experiences have become my greatest teacher, motivator, and inspiration for healing. It is an honor to be a therapist, helping youth, adults, families, and communities heal by overcoming life's challenges and hardships.

As a Multi-Racial, Black Identified, Queer, Disabled Woman, I deeply value, and hold intentional space, for how cultural identities and community impact and foster healing. I also identify as an adult survivor of childhood trauma, and use my healing path journey to foster stepping stones for others. 
 
I hold a closeness to working with childhood trauma, cultural trauma, families impacted by addiction, system involved youth and families, and trauma related attachment holds.

incorporate various modalities and treatment in my practice, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed care. My main goal is to join you in your healing journey, in the most authentic way for you. 

Warmest Wishes in healing and wellness!
