About me
I am a dedicated mental health professional and advocate specializing in trauma-informed care, holistic healing, and accessible support for underserved communities, including the Deaf and BIPOC populations.
As a trauma-informed mental health professional and advocate, I am deeply committed to creating safe, affirming spaces for healing—especially for individuals from marginalized and underserved communities, including Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and BIPOC populations. My approach is holistic, culturally responsive, and rooted in empathy, empowerment, and accessibility.
I bring a wealth of experience working with clients navigating complex trauma, generational stress, identity development, and life transitions. Whether through individual sessions, group support, or community workshops, I focus on helping clients reconnect with their strengths, build emotional resilience, and access tools for long-term well-being.
I also specialize in incorporating creative and expressive modalities, such as storytelling, music therapy, and Black American Sign Language (BASL), to support healing in ways that honor cultural identity and lived experience.
You're not alone—and you're not too much. I'm here to walk with you on your journey to healing, growth, and deeper self-understanding.
