About me

Hello, I identify as a Black American queer person. I graduated from JFK University, Masters of Counseling Psychology, 2011 and have been licensed as a LMFT # 111651 since 2019. I am EMDR trained and working towards complete certification from an EMDRIA approved site. I have Level 1 Somatic Experiencing training, 2023

I work with adults who often struggle with long periods of depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, codependency, low self esteem and perfectionism. I also work with neurodivergent adults, CPTSD and those with chronic pain. What I have taken from these learnings is a nervous system-based guide on how to pace, working with various parts of the self and teaching how to feel again.

I speak:

English

Location:

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
IFS: Internal family systemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

I work within the frameworks of internal family systems (IFS), EMDR and and models based on attachment. I draw from CBT and DBT. I do not claim nor pretend that I have all the solutions or answers, but what I do know is the deep power of witnessing my clients’ experiences and co-creating the feeling of ‘safe-enoughness’ we all need to be able to process and heal our deepest discomforts. What I have is a genuine interest in understanding you, so I can work with you to find solutions.
