Hi! I am a Afro-Latina licensed marriage and family therapist based in California. I received my Masters Degree from the University of San Francisco and have over a decade of clinical experience, marked by a deep commitment to aiding my clients on their profound journey of healing and reconnection with their intuition and authentic self. My professional journey centers on guiding individuals and families towards healing from anxiety, depression, self esteem and relationship struggles with the rediscovery of self-love, confidence, joy, and the transformative healing of intergenerational trauma.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will discuss where you are currently in your journey of this thing we call life. We will discuss symptoms and what brings you to therapy and more importantly where do you desire to be. I will provide insights that may arise and we will collaboratively create treatment goals and objectives together to best serve your present needs towards living the life you desire.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In my therapeutic approach, I offer an all-encompassing, holistic perspective. I hold a deep belief that every individual has their unique process and journey, with inner strength, insights, and personal purpose. I am compassionate guide, weaving my psychology training, education, intuitive guidance, and down-to-earth heart centered wisdom to aid clients back home to themselves. I encourage and challenge my clients to pursue lives that resonate with their deepest truths, all while undertaking the sacred work of healing, aligning with their life purpose, and embracing their true authentic selves.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals and families who are committed to breaking the cycles of trauma, anxiety, depression, low self esteem or unhealthy relationship dynamics that they have witnessed in family dynamics or adopted themselves. My life mission is to empower individuals and communities to heal deeply, transcend their inherited pain, and forge a legacy of resilience and transformation.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I aid clients in acceptance, honoring and holding space for all parts of themselves in every season. I teach my clients how to witness and acknowledge their full range of emotions and feelings without judgement and shame. I am committed to walking along side my clients on their journey to shed old narratives that no longer serve them, begin identifying the new narratives that serve them in this season in order to begin living the lives they desire.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I aid clients in identifying learned and adopted thinking and behavioral patterns that create problems in their lives. I teach clients how to calm one's mind and nervous system in order to utilize problem solving skills, reality testing and healthy coping mechanisms that foster confidence and healthier outcomes to stress provoking circumstances.
Family Therapy
I aim to guide my clients through personal challenges like depression, anxiety, codependency, and self-esteem struggles but also through the healing of intergenerational traumas also known as familial trauma. This collective healing is a pathway for reconnecting with innate gifts of intuition and reclaiming unconditional love. I view these wounds not as burdens but as sacred openings to powerful healing transformation.
