I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) activist, facilitator, healer and Howard prepared social worker. A native of Takoma Park, MD, I am a gentle soul who has been shaped by my experience serving in the fields of grief and trauma counseling, youth empowerment, leadership development, sexual and reproductive health, restorative justice, housing justice, and racial and gender equity. As a certified yoga and meditation instructor, I specialize in bringing mindfulness, movement, somatics and breathwork into healing and liberation practices. In addition to therapy, I co-facilitate a support group for white men who are collectively healing from internalized patriarchy and white supremacy, while practicing love, accountability and community care. Outside of work, I love being in nature, spending quality time with loved ones, traveling, reading fiction, dancing, and basketball.

I take a person-centered approach to therapy, and believe the most transformative healing happens through nurturing a safe, consistent relationship between the client and therapist. I offer clients a settled nervous system, and grounded presence with which to corregulate, and I am passionate about helping people with:

- Cultivating a healthier sense of belonging in life, relationships and community
- Experiencing more joy, pleasure, safety and dignity
- Releasing shame and defensiveness
- Establishing and deepening self-care and self-love practices

- Connecting to purpose and a more felt sense of direction
- Navigating work and career changes
- Navigating anxiety related to coming of age and early adulthood transitions
- Navigating gender identity and sexuality
- Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
- Coping with breakups and separations
- Cultivating healthy, liberated relationships that are rooted in alignment, and take account of   power dynamics, and differences in communication, and attachment styles. Specialties   include:

         - Navigating ethically non-monogamous relationships
         - Navigating inter-racial relationships (for people socialized as white and people who            date/have partners who are socialized as white)

- Healing around relationship to money, self-worth, and feelings of scarcity
- Healing related to whiteness
- Healing related to masculinity
- Healing related to spirituality

I earned a bachelor's degree in sociology, with a minor in economics from the University
of Pittsburgh, a masters degree in social work from Howard University, and I completed my clinical training at the Wendt Center for Loss and Healing.
