My Professional Background
I received my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the School of Cultural and Family Psychology at Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena, CA. I specialized in African American Family Studies, which has provided me with valuable insights into the unique cultural considerations and challenges faced by women of diverse backgrounds.
Additionally, I am certified as a Perinatal Mental Health PMH-C specialist by Postpartum Support International. I am passionate about helping birthing people navigate mental health in all stages of their perinatal period and postpartum (infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, grief & loss and adjustment to parenthood).
