About This Work
I help therapists, healthcare providers, schools, and nonprofits better understand and serve immigrant and multicultural communities — so care feels safer, more accessible, and more effective.
Background
My work is grounded in a degree in Counseling Psychology, built on American-based psychological education and mental health frameworks. I also bring the lived understanding of immigration, culture, identity, and community healing — not as background details, but as central to the work itself.
Living and working in Maine, I see firsthand both the growing diversity of immigrant and multicultural communities and the limited availability of Black and culturally diverse mental health providers.
The Gap
Many therapists and organizations genuinely want to support diverse communities well. But cultural differences, communication barriers, and gaps in lived understanding can make it harder to build the trust, connection, and safety that effective care requires.
This work focuses on helping bridge that gap — not by pointing out what providers are doing wrong, but by building shared understanding that makes care stronger for everyone.

That combination — professional training, cultural humility, and community connection — is what this work is built on.
