I’m a culturally responsive therapist and intuitive counselor offering embodied, relational and trauma-informed care. Together, we access your wisdom through archetypal symbolism, mindfulness practices, inner parts work and dream exploration. Because healing is both individual and collective, I situate each person's journey within broader social, economic and cultural contexts.
My work is rooted in clinical training, long-term study, and engagement with somatic and lineage-based healing. I weave together formal education and many years of ongoing learning and lived experience.
Social justice, racial equality and environmental conservation are three issues to which I am committed. As I continue to grow and transform, my attention has increasingly turned to the inner dimensions of racial justice.
My interests include Afro-Caribbean dance, collage art, and writing. I’m also a mother of two children in college, an experience that continues to shape how I understand self-actualization, growth, and deep love.
