As a parent of bi-racial children I am passionate in helping multi-ethnic and interracial families, as well as those exploring the process towards foster care and adoption.
If life has become chaotic and overwhelming, or maybe you feel isolated with anxiety, stress, depression or grief, I’m available to help you sort through these challenges. Many struggle with parenting burnout, chronic illness, abuse, family dynamics, employment, transitions and relationships. As a licensed clinical social worker with over 20yrs of professional experience I've had the privilege to work with adults, kids and families, seeking emotional support and healing. Through the scope of a multicultural background, I offer a therapeutic approach emphasized by inclusion, awareness, compassion, advocacy, patience and cooperation.

My work experience includes family and children services, mobile crisis response, university counseling centers, and private practice.
Experiences can shape who we are as individuals. Sometimes our experiences are wonderful and create great memories. However, as we navigate our lives, past traumas or other unexpected experiences may affect how we progress toward a healthy and satisfying life. These experiences may be overwhelming and difficult, sometimes causing you to feel depressed, anxious, or even detached from yourself and others. When these difficulties arise, you may need guidance navigating towards healing so that you can experience a healthy, satisfying life. It is my goal to work with clients so that they can reach their optimal capacity.

Have you been in survival mode for too long? Are you working so hard to reparent yourself while simultaneously parenting small people with big needs? Or are you parenting a child with big behaviors or emotions? Parenting a child who is struggling is stressful and isolating. Maybe the thought "this isn't what (or the child) I was expecting" has even run through your mind. Whether you planned for pregnancy, fostering or adopting, you likely dreamed of love, connection and joy. And now you are not sure how to get there from here. Or if it is even possible. It really is! There is always room for hope.

You deserve better. It’s as simple as that. Yet believing it is one thing and achieving it is another. Life’s uncertainties keep coming and your responsibilities are still calling. It feels like you are being pulled and all directions to keep your family and house afloat. You may be trying to hold everything and everyone together, yet it all keeps falling apart. Just when it feels like everything is going well, you start to worry about when the other shoe will drop. Do these thoughts resonate? Possibly life is going okay for you, yet your child can’t cope with all of life’s changes.
