My entire practice is geared towards meeting the needs of today's woman. From the challenges of adolescence to the shock of having an empty nest and everything in between. I believe that the struggles that occur across a woman's lifespan deserve special attention and an approach that specifically meets her needs. This is especially true for women of color who experience a unique stress associated with being a member of an ethnic minority group in the United States.

Welcome! I specialize in treating ADHD, postpartum issues, and anxiety. Adults in my practice with ADHD tend to struggle with feeling overwhelmed at work, procrastinating, feeling like they are not functioning like an "adult," partners getting fed up with them, trouble regulating emotions, losing things, struggling to get to sleep on time or maintain exercise goals, and significant shame. In postpartum moms, common issues are thinking that their families deserve someone better than them, severe anxiety surrounding feeding, feeling judged by others, feeling zoned out and depressed, fears of being away from their baby, and more.

I have worked as a therapist in Los Angeles for over 20 year with various populations. For the past 15 years I have worked in the educational school system. Through my professional experience and training, I have a lot of expertise working with older adolescents and adults.

I work to help my clients navigate these transitions to better be able to cope.

My experience as a licensed therapist, nurse and midwife, has provided me the unique perspective and understanding of the needs of the Whole Individual and how thoughts and beliefs impact us physically, emotionally and psychologically.

If life's a game, we are here to up-level. We are meant to expand our consciousness as we navigate life's challenges and such times provide an opportunity to re-frame our old patterns. Rebuilding a sense of self contributes to our personal growth and how we tell the story of our experience gives great insight into our self perception. Transformational storytelling and trance healing help access the sub-concious and shift an internal narrative. This is deep healing and is built on neuro-plasticity and the understanding that our thoughts create our reality.
