About My Clients

I specialize in working with BIPOC adults who are struggling with racial trauma and internalized oppression to no longer carry the burdens and beliefs forced upon them by society and their environment by discovering their voice, self-worth, and identity.

My Background and Approach

You're on a journey of healing, one that requires a guide who not only understands the map, but has walked similar roads. That's where I come in. My toolbox is filled with a variety of approaches – Internal Family Systems to help you understand your inner landscape, Brainspotting to pinpoint where your trauma lives in your body, somatic experiencing to reconnect with your physical wisdom, and even the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapy to unlock new perspectives and facilitate deeper emotional healing, all chosen with a focus on BIPOC experiences. But the real power doesn't lie in the techniques alone. It's the fact that I've not only learned these methods from BIPOC leaders, but I've also lived a life informed by my own experiences as a person of color. We can explore the ways your racial identity intersects with your unique story, acknowledging the pain without letting it define you. My lived experience isn't here to overshadow yours – it's here to create a bridge.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I see you. You're carrying the weight of navigating a world that often feels like it wasn't built for you. It can be brutal, the constant feeling of being on edge, the unseen barriers you face every day, and the overwhelming expectation to fit the “mold”. But here's the thing: you don't have to weather this storm alone. As a therapist who specializes in complex PTSD, specifically racial trauma, I understand the sting of it all. The anger, the exhaustion, the fear – I've been there. But I believe you have an inner healer, and I'm here to help you discover them. By working together, you will do more than just survive. Finding the key to relief is important, but we won't stop there. We'll explore the roots of your struggles, acknowledging your experiences and processing the trauma. By doing this, we'll uncover the strength you already possess to create lasting change. This journey of healing won't be easy, but with support, you'll navigate those uncharted waters with newfound confidence.
