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.
I 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!
