Therapist.

I provide therapy for women and children, particularly those who identify as people of color or those who have experienced trauma. 

Therapy with kids and families to help them navigate transitions and overcome challenging behaviors.

Therapy for teens and adults works to change negative beliefs, heal from trauma and move towards greater confidence and functioning.

Online groups for Black women and children of color who reside in California support those wanting a space to explore and process stressors.

My approach is client-centered, trauma-responsive and BIPOC and/or LQBTQIA+ affirming.

I specialize in working with:

• Trauma and PTSD

• People of Color

• Transitions and Life Changes

• Children in Private Schools

Speaker.

I speak on topics related to the mental health of kids and teens, impacts of trauma on development, healthy relationships, self care for students of color and support for families of color in predominantly White environments.

Past speaking includes presentations at U.C. Berkeley,  U.C. Santa Barbara, National Association of Independent Schools' People of Color Conference, National Partnership for Educational Access, and the American Psychological Association's National Multicultural Conference and Summit.

Consultant.

I help elite private schools to better recruit, retain and support children of color.

I also help to introduce or improve social-emotional learning and greater mental health support as an integral part of the school culture.
