My commitment to you:

Reclaiming Your Narrative: Together, we will build the resilience needed to drive meaningful, lasting change in your life.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Care & Advocacy
As an active ally and advocate for social justice and progressive change, I provide culturally competent care that respects your lived experiences. I am dedicated to ensuring that all individuals, especially those from marginalized communities, have a safe space to find the healing and support they deserve.
Specialties
Race/Identity Issues/Racial Trauma
If you’re grappling with race and identity issues, I’m here to support you. With my extensive experience and deep understanding, I offer guidance to navigate these challenges.
Life Transitions
Whether it’s transitioning from adolescence to adulthood, starting a new school, or navigating significant life changes, I offer deep experience in guiding clients through these pivotal moments with empathy, practical support, and transformative strategies.
Attachment Work
I specialize in supporting children and their families with attachment-related issues, focusing on fostering secure, healthy relationships that form the foundation for emotional resilience and well-being.
Trauma Therapy
I am passionate about helping clients of all ages—children, teens, and adults—navigate and heal from traumatic experiences. My training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy empowers me to offer an evidence-based, effective approach for processing trauma and reducing its impact on daily life, fostering lasting resilience and emotional growth.
Anxiety
Anxiety can be a debilitating condition impacting every aspect of life. I work with clients to develop proactive coping strategies, manage symptoms, and build resilience. My approach empowers individuals to regain control, enhance their well-being, and improve their overall quality of life through personalized, evidence-based techniques.
EMDR Trained
I help individuals process and heal from traumatic memories using advanced techniques. This involves guiding clients through a series of bilateral eye movements or rhythmic stimulation while recalling distressing experiences. This evidence-based process is designed to reframe and integrate these memories, reducing their emotional charge and enhancing psychological resilience.
You're my ideal client if.....
You’re my ideal client if you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, attachment issues, life transitions, school stress, or race and identity challenges. With my extensive school counseling background, I offer a deep understanding of the educational landscape to support you effectively. Committed to advocating for marginalized communities and addressing systemic inequalities, I aim to guide your personal growth, build resilience, and help you overcome challenges. As an antiracist and progressive counselor, I provide compassionate, culturally competent support tailored to your unique journey. With me, you’ll benefit from a compassionate, validating approach tailored to your needs. I use EMDR for trauma processing, CBT to address anxiety and behavior changes, and attachment-focused techniques to strengthen relationships. By honoring your experiences, I create a safe, supportive space for transformative healing and growth.

Not all divas became pop stars. Some of us became therapists and now get paid to professionally mind everybody’s business. 🫣🤣🫶🏾💖
Some of us had to grow up to help regulate nervous systems, decode childhood trauma, teach emotional regulation, and remind parents that connection before correction will always be key.
✅ Still dramatic.
✅ Still a diva.
Just professionally navigating big feelings, challenging behaviors, complicated family dynamics, and everything in between. 💅🏽✨

Things I can’t unsee as a therapist who specializes in children with ADHD: rejection sensitivity edition ❤️🩹🫶🏾.
✨ Sometimes what looks like overreacting is a child experiencing rejection at a volume adults don't recognize.
✨ The child who melts down over a seemingly small correction may be hearing, “I'm not good enough.”
✨ The child who says “I don't care” may care more than anyone realizes.
✨ The child who gets defensive when given feedback may already be drowning in shame.
✨ The child who avoids trying something new may be terrified of getting it wrong.
✨ The child who takes everything personally may be constantly scanning for signs that someone is upset with them.
✨ The child who pushes people away first may be trying to protect themselves from feeling rejected.
✨ The child who needs constant reassurance isn't necessarily seeking attention. They may be seeking safety.
And here's what I wish more adults understood: You cannot shame a child out of being sensitive to rejection. You cannot criticize them into developing thicker skin. And you cannot punish them into feeling more secure.
Instead, we can help children learn that:
💗 Making a mistake doesn't make them a disappointment.
💗 Being corrected doesn't mean they're disliked.
💗 Conflict doesn't mean a relationship is over.
💗 Someone being upset with them doesn't mean they're unlovable.
This is where parent coaching matters.
We can hold boundaries, teach accountability, and address challenging behaviors without making children feel like their worth is on trial.
The goal isn't to raise children who never feel rejected. It's to raise children who know rejection, mistakes, and hard moments don't make them any less worthy of connection.

Your child doesn’t need another lecture about what they’re doing wrong. They need adults who understand what’s happening underneath the behavior. 💖🫶🏾
ADHD impacts so much more than attention.
✨ Behind the unfinished homework might be executive dysfunction.
✨ Behind the meltdown might be emotional overload.
✨ Behind the refusal might be task paralysis.
✨ Behind the constant reminders might be a child who needs more support with executive functioning.
I hope we start talking less about how to get children with ADHD to behave differently and more about understanding what they’re experiencing and what they need from us.
Because when we misunderstand their struggles, we can unintentionally turn support into shame.
That’s exactly why I created the ADHD Parenting Roadmap. 🧠
A practical resource designed to help parents better understand the ADHD brain, navigate everyday challenges, and find strategies that work with their child’s brain rather than against it.
Your child deserves understanding. You deserve more tools. And neither of you has to figure it all out alone.
Less reacting. More understanding. More intentional support. 🤎
✨ Available now for $40!
