Communion is being together and speaking the language of the heart. It is a spiritual and psychological journey with a companion who cares. If you are seeking peace, clarity, deeper meaning in life, more satisfaction in your relationships, greater creativity, and improved well-being, I am here to assist you on your journey of wellness. I specialize in working with Women of Color. If anxiety, grief, past trauma, racism, internalized oppression, cultural dislocation, workplace or relationship stress prevent you from being who you want to be, I am here to help you find your true Self.
I am an intuitive, relational therapist who specializes in accompanying you as together we unravel the knots that bind you from the inside out. I offer compassion, connection, fresh perspective and practical tools to aid in your healing. I use cultural-sensitivity, interpersonal neurobiology and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions.
I provide a holistic assessment and support that is individualized to your unique needs. I practice in a way that forms bridge between biology, psychology and spirituality--balancing these aspects of the whole. Give yourself the gift of deep healing. You deserve it!
