About My Clients

You’ve excelled in so many ways, but you're exhausted. The perfectionist in you never lets you forget when you’ve seemingly missed the mark. In friendships and romantic relationships, you wish there was a guide on how to finally get things “right”. The fear of not being “good enough", causes you to overanalyze EVERYTHING. You become stuck in your head and withdrawn from the life and relationships that you actually want. Life can get better and I know how to help.

My Background and Approach

As an EMDR Certified Therapist, Certified Enneagram & Integral Coach, I personally know the support it takes to get past stuck places like your well-being depends on it. I facilitate use of effective tools geared towards helping you heal from wounds of unresolved traumas, perfectionism, or impostor syndrome. I am warmly engaging, attentive, and direct. In our work together, I will support you in realizing what was possible all along - living in wholeness and experiencing ongoing growth. You can also expect that intersections of identity that we navigate as humans are not ignored in our work together. I offer video and phone sessions to all CA - Residents and College Students.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We can never have too many healthy human beings in this world. For as long as I can remember, I’ve often encountered strangers who unexpectedly felt open to sharing their stories with me. I’ve always been inclined to carefully listen, reflectively respond, and never take for granted their vulnerability. Nor how impactful presence can be. I value the courage it takes for anyone to survive, and the desire to live a life beyond survival. As a Black Woman of Afro-Caribbean descent, I am a fierce advocate for social justice and equity. They’re not just values that I hold; they’re deeply personal. So, in my work with many clients of diverse backgrounds, I honor their experiences of living in a world where power, privilege, and oppression affect us all. Whomever you are, and whatever juncture in life you're at, there is open space for you in our work together. Our work is centered on unburdening your mind, heart, and body while helping you make consistent contact with your essence.
