About My Clients

All at the same time we are individuals, partners, family members, neighbors, employees and employers, community members, etc. Because my clients are typically navigating challenges such as Anxiety, PTSD, Women’s Issues, and Minority Stress, our work together is often to help integrate your individual healing with your lived experience navigating the real world and your unique community blueprint. I hope to learn more about your journey and support you on your path!

My Background and Approach

I am deeply passionate about social justice and social change focused work. I spent several years doing community work, including medical case management with Queer and BIPOC clients living with HIV/AIDS, housing case management with clients experiencing houselessness, providing clinical care for the Center for Black Women’s Wellness (CBWW) clients. Most often I use Somatic Therapy and Narrative Therapy to support my clients. However, I do tailor my therapeutic methods based on your current challenges, strengths, and specific goals. My approach is Trauma-Informed, Strengths-Based, and always Person-Centered. This means that I believe no one can know you better or more fully than you can. Working together will include discovering or rediscovering your Center while developing and strengthening skills that enable you to be an intentional participant and leader in your healing journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a proud member of a large family of powerful women, I have come to believe that when we create spaces where women can heal and grow, we create opportunities for entire families to heal, for workspaces to thrive, and for whole communities to flourish along with them. I believe that investing in women means investing overall in community wellness and wholeness.
