Are you a woman of color who lost someone suddenly and now you're expected to show up to work, smile at family gatherings, and hold everyone else together while your world is shattered? Do you feel invisible in your grief because your cultural community expects strength, but therapy spaces don't get the complexity of navigating grief as a Black, Latina, Asian, or mixed-race woman?

I help millennial women of color move from feeling emotionally paralyzed by grief to rediscovering meaning, rebuilding their identity after loss, and honoring their loved one while reclaiming joy without abandoning their cultural values or spiritual beliefs.

Unlike traditional grief counseling that follows a one-size-fits-all approach, I integrate Advanced Grief Counseling certification with psychospiritual practices rooted in ancestral wisdom, tarot as a tool for self-discovery, and culturally informed therapy. Ready to stop carrying your grief alone? Book your free 15-minute consultation call.
