Have you experienced early-life trauma, feeling the weight of it in your metaphorical "backpack"? Are you searching for a way to release this burden? If you often contemplate life's injustices, questioning when the storm will pass, and find yourself operating in a way that leaves you unfulfilled and burnt out, I'm here to provide support. Untreated past trauma can impact overall health, and while I can't promise the storms will stop, I offer tools to help you navigate and overcome them.
My approach involves a nuanced understanding, recognizing the intersections shaping mental health journeys. As a therapist of color with a background in advocating for families in child welfare, my unique perspective allows me to meet clients where they are.
Being a former foster youth has given me a unique lens and I can visualize all the moving pieces life can throw at you. I aim to support youth and young adults to attain healing by helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related challenges. My hope is for you to feel seen, heard, and important in your healing process.
