I am a native of Los Angeles and a Black woman. I’m a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter and a proud community member. I believe that we all (as humans) are each others’ keeper.
I practice with multiple methods but often view individuals through psychodynamic and cultural lenses. Any religious or spiritual background that prioritizes kindness is my jam.
