I work from a culturally humble, systems-informed framework with adult children of immigrants and historically overlooked communities—especially those from African, Caribbean, Latin American, and other cultural backgrounds. I specialize in helping young adults and new parents heal from generational trauma while navigating traditions and independence. If you're figuring out how to honor your heritage while building your own life—managing work stress, navigating complex family dynamics, or discovering a version of your culture. I Also Work With: High-performing leaders—parents in demanding careers who are experiencing burnout.
I can help you heal from generational and cultural trauma, navigate complex family dynamics while maintaining connection if able, raise your children while honoring your roots, and discover a version of life that feels authentic to you. I also help you build independence and career confidence.
I know reaching out takes courage. I bring empathy, humor, and collaboration to every session because healing happens when you feel genuinely seen. I'm committed to continuously growing as a therapist so I can show up as my best for you. If my work resonates, I'd love to connect.
