Licensed Therapist, Professor, International Coach and Consultant
Pain is often a sign that aspects of our inner life need our attention. This pain may be generational, ancestral, self-inflicted or due to a series of upsetting events in our lives. Drawing from 11 years of experience and specialized training, I enjoy helping clients overcome blocks and create the life they’ve always wanted.
If pain brings you to therapy it may be manifesting in the form of depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship and family issues, identity challenges, grief and loss and more.
I have wanted to do this work since I was a child and it is my soul’s purpose. As a Master Certified Life Coach, Licensed Therapist and highly sensitive person, I leverage my expertise in body language, emotions, and proven strategies to help individuals achieve internal and external change.
I help clients step into their full potential and regain their balance with an understanding of the mind-body connection, leadership, generational and systemic trauma and performance.
High Achieving Professionals (Executives, Founders, Lawyers, Creative Professionals), Neurodivergent and Underserved Populations (ex: women, men of color, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+) are especially drawn to my work. After working with me, you’ll create the life you deserve, elevate your confidence, identity and purpose. In our work together you’ll experience a compassionate, results oriented, culturally affirming approach.
I have been practicing individual, couple, group and family therapy for 11 years. Prior to starting my own practice, I worked in community mental health, schools, field based and private practice settings with a diverse range of clientele and challenges including low-income families, high risk trauma, CEO’s and creatives.
I am currently an adjunct professor in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University.
Also, as an award winning doctoral level licensed therapist and coach, I also offer my expertise to companies, organizations and universities in the U.S. and abroad (Africa) for the purpose of training staff and students and developing, implementing and improving programs for the general public.
Lastly, as a researcher and writer, I contribute my expertise to academia and media corporations for the purpose of sharing new data about the field of mental health and entrepreneurship.
Pain need not control your life. Transformation is possible.
