About My Clients

I might be a good fit for you if you are trying to manage the prenatal and postpartum time or symptoms of trauma such as a history of family conflict, assault, abuse, neglect, accidents, systemic trauma, or generational trauma. In addition, I work with clients to alleviate anxiety, depression, and the stress associated with all of life’s transitions.

My Background and Approach

I worked in diverse community-based schools and non-profits for over fifteen years before starting my private practice. I specialize in perinatal mental health and trauma treatment while also supporting clients to alleviate stress associated with a variety of life’s stressors. I really enjoy what I do, especially because of the collaboration and genuine professional connection that I am privileged to form with clients.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My personal and professional background is rooted in diverse cultural backgrounds and perspectives. Part of the privilege and benefit of therapeutic work is in my opportunity to learn about the stories and unique outlook of each client. My value in doing so informs my approach and implementation of therapeutic interventions. I provide a safe, appreciative and validating space for clients no matter their identity and life experiences.
