I believe my calling is to support Women of Color as they navigate the emotional challenges of preconception, pregnancy, infertility, and postpartum experiences. Having experienced the confusion and mixed emotions firsthand, I understand the importance of having a safe space to openly express yourself without judgment. Please know that you don't have to face these struggles alone.
I offer a supportive environment where you can share your thoughts and emotions. Together I hope that we can identify tangible coping skills, needs and cultivate a reliable support system so that you can have the best possible outcome for this challenging time.
Let's work together to cultivate a healthier mindset and prioritize YOUR well-being, empowering you to not only endure but flourish during this time and beyond. Book with me now by clicking on my website.

I utilize a multicultural, holistic and eclectic approach in how I provide therapy. In your first session I like explore what brought you to therapy, and gather history of WHO you are, life experiences and circumstances that have brought you to reach out for help. We will discuss goals for therapy, and treatment on how to get there. Glad to walk with you on this journey.
