A Little About Me...
I started my practice out of a love for black women and a desire to help them heal using many of the same tools that helped me. I now almost exclusively work with black women.

Hello and Welcome... I believe in authenticity in our work together, so here is a little about me. I am a sexual assault survivor. I have experienced violence at the hands of an intimate partner. I have also healed from my own versions of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. I am now thriving in my multidimensional identity as a spiritual being because I have integrated the challenges of my human experience. I am a spiritual psychotherapist, a spiritualist, a tarot guide and an energy healer. I created Full Circle Therapy Services (FCTS) as a holistic antidote to our invisibility in the world. I began training in trauma since that is a relevant topic for our community. I then was trained in somatic psychotherapy learning how we store all of our emotions and repressed feelings in our body, muscles and tissue, and how disconnected we are from our bodies as black women. I came to see how when we reconnect to our body we heal deeply. In the seven years FCTS has been open, I have evolved and shifted from practicing a traditional form of psychotherapy to something that is more expansive and incorporates your soul and who you are multidimensionally. I know that we carry an extra heavy burden in society based on our gender and skin color which often leaves us feeling unworthy, unseen and ignored. |
Now my practice has become more spiritual as have I. I now know how to look at a person on a multidimensional level. So yes, while we specializes in the needs of black women recovering from trauma, and the many ways this can show up, we also see you beyond that as well.
Now for the semi-fancy stuff if you care; I received my graduate degree in social work from Catholic University of America. I have been practicing since 2011 and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Maryland and the District of Columbia.
I have taken extensive trainings in trauma and somatic psychotherapy to include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma Conscious Yoga Method (TCYM), Trauma-Informed Clinical Practice and Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology.
I have completed a two-year training program in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology. I love this method and it is closest to my heart. I will be completing my certification in this method in the fall of 2024. I am also a certified tarot guide and psychic-medium. Additionally, I am a student of numerology and working with angelic frequencies.
I love what I do and am good at it. I love spirituality and know what it can do to bring a deeper purpose and meaning to your life. We are not just random balls of fluff floating through space. We all have a purpose and all lives have meaning at the soul level. I would encourage you to explore it with someone skilled enough to guide you on this journey.
