If you are experiencing PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, work stress, relationship stress, or life stress in general, then I would be honored to partner with you in your search to find wellness, balance, and an overall better quality of life. Like all good things in life, this journey will take time and your own patience to do the work of your own recovery, but this can be achieved if you are truly committed to trusting your process.

I can help guide you along the way, but I can’t do the work of your recovery for you, nor would I ever try because I believe you are a unique individual, with your own strengths, talents, and inner wisdom. I have been trained in trauma-informed care, anti-oppressive practice approach and I specialize in culturally-responsive care for (POC) people of color.
Please feel free to contact me if you are open to learn, like therapy homework (and will do the therapy homework), want to learn a set of tools and skills for safe coping, appreciate a mindful, Strengths-based approach to therapy work, and if you want a collaborative therapeutic alliance with an empathic approach that honors you for who you are.
