"This is Why I Do It"
I have struggled with limiting thoughts. I have felt marginalized and "not enough".
I have utilized therapy, coaching, natural healing, holistic and spiritual practices along my journey. I believe in a combination of wellness approaches and the necessity for wholeness and healing for the collective and the individual.
​​
My private practice was created out of the value to be visible for you with a grounded path in holistic wellness and living. I have a focused interest in cultivating the passions, gifts, and innate strengths within you and your community.
​​​
As a Black woman in America, I also want to acknowledge the deep and painful roots that many of us share and my dedication to adding to the visibility of Black wellness and mental health.
​​​​
As a Queer woman, it is important for me to hold space for others in the spirit of diverse sexuality, attraction, and connection.
​​​​
As a Creative woman, embedding elements of creativity, performance, art, and character embodying into healing, growth, and evolving is natural for me.
​​
As a Spiritual woman, with clairsentient and claircognizant abilities, I support your spiritual exploration and journey.
​​
I’ve gained coursework, exposure, and lived experience to many therapy modalities and alternative healing approaches.
I am a lifelong student.
I believe in helping you bring your creativity, strengths, and talents forward in navigating tough and uncertain times. It is my belief that YOU are the expert of YOUR LIFE. I am here to guide, reflect, support, and encourage your self healing and evolving.​
​​​​​​
I identify and have shared experiences within communities that are LGBTQ+, sex/body positive, and those within various relationship structures.
​​​​​
I continue to be creative with local and national film projects, TV, online streaming platforms and apps, and community/live events through dance, fitness/wellness, fashion/figure modeling, advocacy and human rights, and other forms of art for creative, healing, entertainment expressions and purpose.
​​​​​
I enjoy creative and leisure time with my wife, dog, and 2 cats and LOVE a good laugh, traveling, fitness and exercise, and all things art.
Time in nature-moon & sun bathing, climbing trees & hiking trails, time in solitude, meditation, use of energy healing, bodywork, dance and music are important to me and a part of my personal wellness practice.
​​​​​
I am honored to be a part of your wellness journey.
