Intro

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be—not to fix anything, but to grow.”

I am a therapist and researcher, specializing in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, IFS, DBT, CPT, and ACT, to help clients navigate personal growth and healing. As a biracial woman, I understand the complexities of identity, cultural influences, and intergenerational trauma, creating an affirming and empowering space for clients. With a background in research on autobiographical memory, race-based trauma, and PTSD, I blend clinical expertise with a deep understanding of resilience, healing, and posttraumatic growth. I am passionate about helping individuals reclaim their power, improve emotional regulation, and build fulfilling relationships. Whether you're processing trauma, seeking clarity in your career, or struggling with self-worth, I provide a supportive and compassionate space to foster meaningful change.
