My Approach to Helping

One of the most challenging yet rewarding things we can do in life is to seek help when we need it most. It can be difficult to carry our burdens alone, and a true relief to have someone help us hold and work through them. I support clients experiencing a range of concerns which can include feelings of anxiety and depression; trauma; difficulties in close relationships; major life transitions; family conflict; racial, sexual, and gender identity development, and navigating existential distress. Above all, the key is a desire and readiness to heal, to evolve, and to grow. This is what leads to the discovery of your full potential.

As a Queer, Black, first-generation clinician, I care deeply about working with others who are not usually represented by the mainstream. I am specialized in trauma-informed care, and I use a social justice lens that is warm, supportive, and client-centered. I follow your pace, honoring the importance of building trust and safety before we go deep.

It is my goal to help you build increased self-understanding and self-compassion, and to put you on the path towards becoming more fully yourself, living in a more integrated way, and building resilience in this ever-changing world. If you're ready to take the next step, let's schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we might be a good match.

More Info About My Practice

In my work with clients, I take into account the whole person and their potential for growth, helping them to get in touch with their own inner wisdom in order to move towards change. I hold my clients in the context of their individual identities, and I consider the impact that experiences of intergenerational trauma and oppression can have on mental health. My goal is to help clients to find their voice, take ownership of their stories, become more fully themselves, and stand more confidently in their own personal power.

I earned my PsyD from the Wright Institute in Berkeley. My experience has included working in elementary and middle schools throughout the Bay Area, as well as community mental health clinics, and San Francisco General Hospital. I have served as a clinic director and supervisor to graduate students in training, in addition to working in a group private practice. Outside of my clinical work, I have provided training to other practitioners in the areas of child development, complex trauma, and Healing Justice.
