As a biracial woman, I understand the complexities of identity, cultural influences, and intergenerational trauma, creating an affirming and empowering space for clients. With a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and a background in research on autobiographical memory, race-based trauma, and PTSD, I blend clinical expertise with a deep understanding of resilience, healing, and posttraumatic growth. I am passionate about helping individuals reclaim their power, improve emotional regulation, and build fulfilling relationships. Whether you're processing trauma, seeking clarity in your career, or struggling with self-worth, I provide a supportive and compassionate space to foster meaningful change.
