My Origin Story…
My engrained passions and experiences have led me to this place to serve; as a Black woman who has navigated through my own struggles with my identity and sense of self, intergenerational trauma, complicated grief, infertility and loss, birth trauma, parenting, marriage and interpersonal relationships, etc.
I have cultivated my clinical and birth support approaches to be focused towards BIPOC and members of the African diaspora. The long history of exclusion, injustice, abuse, and disparate treatment has contributed to the dire need for reparative and holistic care, support, and protection for members of the marginalized society to partner through our shared experiences and work towards healing.
