I facilitate healing through therapeutic play, relaxation technique ", " I am also a trauma-informed therapist who caters to those who have witnessed and have been directly impacted by various forms of traumas, including intergenerational traumas. My specialties include (but arent limited to), problem-solving treatment, anxiety, depression, onset psychosis, self-harm, child-focused and trauma-focused CBT, and major defiance. ", " I aim to de-stigmatize mental health in black and brown communities by providing expertise and compassionate care. I find that when we allow ourselves to open up and become vulnerable to the treatment process, there are hands and arms waiting to embrace. Starting your child early with treatment is essential. You nor your child, doesnt have to do it alone. "
