Click "My Website" To Schedule A Session Or Consultation! I am a trauma-informed Mindfulness therapist who believes that a balanced mindset will help to empower, uplift clarity, and motivate success and happiness. I have experience working with adolescents and young adults from communities of color with complex life issues. I also happily welcome partnerships with adults who want to build well-being practices. I am happy to support couples with premarital, open, LGBTQ, and polyamorous agreements. For couples and families, I host collaborations that cultivate insight, develop open-hearted dialogue, and increase relational harmony.
My working style gives clients a safe space to find authentic expression about their life's struggles and build healthy solutions that produce positive perspective and empowerment. I help clients overcome limiting beliefs, resolve obstacles that derail their collaboration, and elevate mutual strengths, joy, and potential for deep connection.
I chose to become a mental health professional because I want to make a positive and productive difference in the lives of others. I also want to be a bridge to more frequent, comfortable, and helpful conversations about mental health within communities of color. I coach from a firm yet warm embrace of ethical and cultural boundaries for conscious coupling.
