about me
to move in the darkness and discovering the wisdom and wholeness there.”

my story
Teaching others how to navigate this journey is a calling. In 2009, after completing my Master’s degree in Counseling and Marriage and Family therapy, I left my career in Business and Accounting to follow that calling. That same year I got married and moved from my hometown where I lived my whole life. The wedding and the move from New Orleans to Metro Detroit all happened in one weekend! Also, my husband and I are an interracial couple. It’s been a helluva ride! That was over a decade ago. The learning, growth and change continue on deeper and deeper levels of wholeness.
I have worked with hundreds of individuals and couples and learned from many amazing philosophies and teachers, including my brave clients and wounded parts of me. I have worked with countless groups ranging from global corporations to universities to wellness spas. I currently teach ongoing private groups and classes on self-care and ever-expanding personal growth. My hope is to help others connect more deeply to themselves and handle inner and outer conflict with greater awareness and care. This learning and practice helps people live a life with more peace and meaning and a life that is true to them. It helps build a more solid foundation from which to operate. Life will always involve pain, change, challenges and grief mixed with the times of joy, achievement and celebration. I help people build a center that holds, strengthen personal power and peace and infuse a little humor in it all.
