As the Founder of Pivotal Years, I understand that navigating the challenges of parenting and managing emotional stress can feel overwhelming, especially within marginalized communities. If you're struggling with parent-child conflicts, anxiety, or depression, please know that you don't have to face these challenges alone. My approach is rooted in compassion and cultural sensitivity, aiming to provide you with the support and tools you need to thrive. My mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where seeking help is encouraged and supported.
In my practice, I provide a range of eclectic, strength-based, and solution-focused interventions tailored specifically to your unique needs and concerns. I also offer a compassionate approach that gently encourages you to shift your perspective on internal struggles and navigate obstacles with newfound resilience.
If you are a caregiver to anyone under the age of 21, let's talk. Together, we can work towards fostering resilience and healing, not just for you, but for the future of your family. Reach out today—I'm here to listen and to help you find your path forward.

I specialize in supporting clients who are navigating the complexities of depression or trauma linked to relationships and family dynamics. My work is both challenging and profoundly rewarding. I understand that generational trauma can contribute to anxiety, depression, and ongoing conflict within families. Together, we can delve into these issues and work towards healing and transformation.
