 Whether I’m working with individuals, community groups, or organizations, my practice is anchored in one guiding principle: healing and transformation happen in relationship—within ourselves, with one another, and through the systems we inhabit. My role is to create a space where that transformation can begin, deepen, and sustain. 

I approach therapy as a collaborative and culturally responsive space where you can show up as your full self—without needing to perform, protect, or explain your humanity. My style is warm, direct, and attuned to the lived realities of navigating a complex world, especially for those carrying intergenerational trauma, racial stress, or invisible labor. Together, we’ll explore how patterns, beliefs, and pain have served you—and how you might release what no longer does. I work not just to reduce symptoms, but to help you reclaim connection, purpose, and power.

Core values in individual work:

• Compassion without judgment 
• Identity-affirming care 
• Centering liberation alongside healing 
• Honoring strength and vulnerability as coexisting truths

Facilitating healing in community requires deep listening, cultural humility, and courageous truth-telling. Whether I am guiding a professional development retreat, moderating a restorative circle, or leading a support space after racialized harm, I hold space with care and clarity. I understand how trauma, power, and silence operate in groups—and work to interrupt patterns of harm while nurturing trust and accountability.

Core values in community work:

• Centering marginalized voices 
• Creating emotionally safe and brave spaces 
• Grounding dialogue in dignity, not debate 
• Cultivating connection, clarity, and shared meaning

My organizational consulting is driven by a belief that systems can—and must—be restructured to reflect the people they serve. I bring psychological insight and strategic leadership to help organizations move beyond optics and toward authentic, equity-rooted transformation. I don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. I help institutions identify their own patterns, tensions, and blind spots—and guide them through the often uncomfortable, but necessary, work of change.

Core values in organizational work:

• Equity as strategy, not sentiment 
• Aligning mission, culture, and policy 
• Psychological safety as a business imperative 
• Leading with both empathy and accountability

 At every level—personal, interpersonal, systemic—my work invites people to be more whole, more courageous, and more aligned with what matters. If you're ready to explore that journey, I’m here to walk beside you.
