As a Transformational Coach, a Drama Therapist, and soon-to-be Depth Psychologist, I offer a wide range of methods to help you in your healing journey. I offer not only years of experience, but also joy, patience, and honesty. I am a motivator, who offers positive outlooks and new perspectives on the challenges in your life.
I value the opportunity that you are given yourself to grow and heal. Therefore, every session is filled with ways to support you and help you feel safe on your journey. As a Depth Psychologist and Transformational Coach, I use Afro-Indigenous practices, holistic methods, Dreamwork, Imagination, and Earth-based practices to help in the healing process. As an African American woman, I am invested in healing trauma that is rooted in intergenerational and systematic racism. I support the growth and healing of enslaved and colonized people just as much as I support those that come from other traumatic backgrounds.
All my experience and knowledge flows through me like a river of creativity. I encourage you to dip your toes into the coolness of the waters that flows. Let the healing waters heal you as you go through your transformation.
