I started R2R because decolonizing therapy is about more than just being a Person of Color doing this work. It’s about showing up to your sessions as yourself and feeling like “wow this person sees me for who I am” without having to explain yourself, your sexuality, your gender, or anything else about yourself. It’s about knowing your therapist keeps up trends and about not having to hide behind code-switching and masking, especially for those of us that are neurodiverse. 

Truthfully, R2R’s belief is that therapy requires a combination of humor, directness, connection, and strength. My work as a therapist and a supervisor for others in this practice is deeply rooted in offering counseling where everyone who comes to us leaves feeling like thry had a talk with their favorite auntie and uncle….. you know the one who helps you but also gives you real life space to be yourself (and sometimes that talking to you didn’t know you needed). I believe in the teachings of the Nap Ministry   “Rest is your right, not your reward”  I am certified in trauma informed practice, grief, complex trauma, and my  favorite, the effects of nutrition on trauma and the brain. My specialties include areas such as: anxiety, depression, Adult ADHD, and life changes for people of color. Here at R2R, We really enjoy building connections with clients based on their own needs where everyone can learn from each other.
 

We Hope to see you soon!

Light and Love,
