About

As a dedicated mental health therapist serving the Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) community, I specialize in guiding both adults and children toward emotional stability and healing. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a culturally sensitive understanding of the unique challenges faced by those in our communities. I am dedicated to helping families break the stigma surrounding mental health, creating a safe and supportive environment for healing. Together, we work to empower you to reclaim your narrative, foster mental well-being, and embrace a healthier, more fulfilling life. View 7 Photos With specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Play Therapy, I offer unique and effective approaches to help both children and adults navigate their traumatic experiences. EMDR allows clients to process distressing memories, facilitating healing and emotional resilience.
