My Journey
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, my practice centers around the areas of trauma, perinatal and postpartum mental health, veterans, and couples.
​
My personal journey played a significant role in my decision to become a therapist. Growing up, I was surrounded by family members and friends who were in the military, which instilled a deep appreciation for the unique challenges faced by veterans and their families.
​
As I pursued my master's degree, I also became a mother, which further heightened my understanding of the importance of mental health and well-being.

​
This transformative experience further ignited my passion for guiding others towards a more balanced, healed, and fulfilling life.
Throughout my career
I have gained extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families in diverse settings. This has allowed me to develop valuable skills and practical knowledge that I bring to each session where I can ensure personalized care.
​
Whether it's navigating trauma, supporting perinatal and postpartum mental health, or working with veterans and couples, my approach prioritizes creating a safe and supportive environment, and I strive to support individuals and families in discovering a sense of inner peace and balance as they navigate life's challenges.
...This is your healing space...
I prioritize creating a safe and respectful space for individuals and families during our time together, and I am committed to meeting them where they are in their journey. My therapeutic approach includes offering education and guidance on topics such as trauma, perinatal and postpartum mental health, setting boundaries, self-care, and veteran-specific concerns.
I firmly believe that representation matters which is why I choose to highlight Black and other persons of color. However, all individuals, couples, and families seeking support are welcome to connect and begin their journey to balance and wellbeing through Shades of Healing.
