About My Clients

For the past 15 years, I have worked with many different kinds of people, in many walks of life. But, the main struggles that have always hit home for me have been black and brown women who feel like they *have to or should* be all things to everyone and everything. There is so much heaviness, tension, and angst inside of you when you operate in what I call, "the shoulds". I assist women in releasing perfectionism, stress, and challenging self-defeating narratives.

My Background and Approach

Before attaining my license, I worked in foster care and adoption agencies, community mental health centers, and non-profit organizations. Now as a mother, and self-employed/private practice owner, I offer a whole-person approach rooted in helping others go from surviving to thriving. I believe in the power of basic self-care, listening to your body, understanding your inner voice and intuition, exploring healthy and unhealthy relationships, and removing blocks that may prevent you from getting to your goals.
