A lil background or whatever

I am a first generation Caribbean-American New Yorker living in Baltimore, Maryland. I am 1000% one of those neurosomething, sensitive millennials who loves her cat and will absolutely want to know if you’re into astrology.

I have a Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in Children and Youth Studies, and am currently practicing as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW). I am a Certified Doula via Doula Trainings International, Reiki Master Teacher, and Zumba Instructor.

I have professional experience in a variety of settings including psychotherapy, healthcare, afterschool and enrichment programming, long term care, and school-based social work. Through personal mental and physical health challenges I have learned to prioritize taking care of myself in order to live the best life I can, and do my best at supporting others.

I cultivate myself spiritually through the lens of multiple teachings with a focus on personal divine connection and remembrance of ancestral practices.

I like good food, good vibes, and really enjoy doing my part to create subtle but serious shifts in the harmful narratives folks have internalized about health, wellness, healing, community, autonomy, and what these things look like when your skin ain’t white.

Here’s what I love to do…
