I am a woman (she, her) of African American descent framed with a collectivistic Afro-centric cultural perspective. I am practicing as a Holistic Therapist at Docked Ships, LLC. I advocate for marginalized communities/issues such as high functioning Black & Brown women (and their families), LGBTQIA persons, and body positivity. I consider myself a social scientist, researcher-practitioner. I study prevalent wellness patterns among minorities to identify appropriate evidence-based treatment approaches. At Docked Ships, LLC, we help high functioning individuals (experiencing the effects of sustained resiliency) thrive in their relationship with self and others.
