About
As far as anyone knows, you’re an Achiever. You seemingly function so well that others forget that you’re human and have problems, too. You’ve checked off a lot of boxes of success, but you often wonder why you’re not truly satisfied. You experience guilt for wanting something more out of life and relationships. It’s frustrating to experience anxiety that constantly makes you feel like you have to work really hard to keep things together. Add in the uncertainties and stress of an ongoing pandemic along with ongoing racial injustices, and you wonder how to gain longer-term relief.
You want a healthier, more wholesome life. One, where being connected to others does not mean that you have to abandon yourself. You’re looking for effective tools to manage everyday anxieties and to be relieved of constant self-doubt. You might also be looking to heal from wounds of unresolved traumas, impostor syndrome, and perfectionism. I get it.
Not only do I have years of clinical experience to assist you with this, but I personally know the support it takes to get past stuck places like your well-being depends on it. As your Therapist, you can expect me to be warmly engaging, attentive, and direct. I offer video and phone sessions to all CA - Residents and College Students. Just visit my website!

The MPI Cycle-Breaker Course Community
This 12-week course and community is designed specifically for Black Women and Women of Color; geared toward helping its members heal from experiences of relational trauma, ditch perfectionism, and effectively combat their impostor syndrome narratives and triggers. As we know, Black Women and Women of Color face unique challenges, especially in spaces where we are often underrepresented. Additionally, mainstream resources can also overlook the intricacies of our life experiences, gifts, wisdom, and healing rituals. Through this course, women can learn to live more honest, integrated, and daring lives.
