About me
I am an experienced racial trauma specialist who specializes in treating racial stress and trauma. I also specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, life adjustments, acute stress disorder, other traumas and PTSD. I have an MA Degree in Marital and Family Therapy with a specialization in African-American Family Studies. I provide individual therapy to adult individuals only and am not providing couples or family therapy at this time.
I'm a genuinely happy person. I smile and laugh a lot and believe it's important to find humor in life and not take ourselves too seriously. I'm encouraging and supportive. I'm spiritual and keep it real. I use EMDR, IFS, and CPT to treat trauma. I also use a lot of mindfulness activities and CBT-informed interventions in my practice. Therapy services are provided by video only and available to California residents only.
