I am a bicultural colored woman. I encourage the exploration of past experiences and cultural/family discussions to better understand ourselves. When we can access/understand our inner thoughts and emotions, we become empowered to make better choices and live a fuller life. I have expertise working with the following issues: anxiety/depression, bi-cultural, Intimate partner violence/unhealthy relationships, family of origin (childhood abuse, dysfunctional family), low self-esteem/self-worth, relationship problems (dating, marriage, workplace), self-identity (discovering who you are), trauma and work/life balance.

My passion stems from working with marginalized communities and empowering these communities through the healing and de-stigmatization of mental health issues. My goal is to bring awareness and support individuals in reaching mental health well being.
I enjoy taking small walks, even if it's around the block. The simple pleasures of life such as grounding myself and being mindful of my surroundings, appreciating nature, and breathing fresh air is what I enjoy the most.
My family is everything for me, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have a daughter and I am married. Spending quality time with family is what I enjoy the most during my time off.
My pets name is Valentino! He is a fluff ball of cuteness. He is a Pomeranian, and if you know anything about Pomeranians, they will steal the show by simply putting on a smile for you and brightening up your day.
