Welcome! I am so glad you are here. I am driven by a powerful purpose: to guide BIPOC folx to embody their truths. Too often, we find ourselves caught in a state of "in-betweenness," where we feel we don't quite fit into mainstream culture and yet may also experience a sense of not fully belonging to our personal cultures. I am here to assist you in shedding what no longer serves you, grounding into your bodily wisdom, and embracing your true identities. I firmly believe that when we embody our truths, life flows more easily.

Specializations include somatic approaches to healing from trauma, befriending anxiety, processing grief and loss, exploring creativity, and honoring full intersectional identities. I believe in assisting clients with grounding themselves and finding personal resources, both internal and external, to support their healing journey.

If you are struggling with questions or issues of: Identity and Self-Exploration, Racism and Racial Trauma, Mental Health and Well-being, Family and Intergenerational Issues, Community and Relationship Concerns, Educational and Professional Challenges, reach out. I look forward to supporting you on the journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery.
