Supervisor, Licensed Psychotherapist

“Wellness is your birthright, and healing is a revolutionary act.”

Send me a message

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been practicing since 2010. I work with individuals across the lifespan, though my work is most deeply rooted in supporting women and young people of color as they move through trauma, grief, identity exploration, and the meaningful transitions that arise in emerging adulthood. I also have specialized training in perinatal mental health and deeply value supporting people during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

My clinical perspective is rooted in my own lived experience. I grew up navigating family division and generational disenfranchisement while also being held by stabilizing sources of community, school, and neighborhood. Those early experiences taught me that safe spaces can be life-giving, and they continue to guide my desire to create sanctuaries where people can grow, repair, and move toward wholeness.

My Therapy Style

If In my work, I draw from Internal Family Systems, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, and EMDR. I approach healing from a liberation-centered, trauma-responsive lens. I understand trauma as something that can be both personal and collective, shaped by family histories, cultural narratives, and systems of power. I hold space with warmth, curiosity, and cultural responsiveness, honoring both resilience and pain. My hope is to support clients in reconnecting to a sense of safety, self-trust, and embodied presence.

“I offer a compassionate and grounded space to move through what is unfolding. Together, we will pay attention to your inner world, your body’s wisdom, and the larger social and cultural forces shaping your experience. Healing moves at the pace of trust, and I honor that deeply.”

My Supervision Style

I approach supervision as a relational and collaborative space where honesty, curiosity, and reflection are welcome. I especially enjoy working with early-career clinicians who are forming their professional identities and seeking language and frameworks that help anchor their work.

In supervision, we attend not only to your clients but to your internal experience as a clinician. I believe your emotional responses, questions, and hesitations are meaningful and important. They are openings into deeper insight, integration, and clinical grounding.

I connect most with supervisees who move with intentionality, openness, humility, and reflectiveness. You do not need to be fully formed to work with me. You simply need to be willing to show up, wonder aloud, and stay engaged in the process. Supervision with me is a space to breathe, to feel accompanied, and to remember that you are not alone in this work.
