Race-Based Traumatic Stress (RBTS) stems from experiences of racism and witnessing discrimination, media exposure, and historical trauma. This chronic stress affects mental and emotional health, leading to anger, depression, and anxiety. Acknowledging and addressing RBTS supports healing from racism’s effects.
Our healing circles provide a welcoming, inclusive environment where community members can share personal stories, emotions, and experiences related to racism and RBTS.

In these healing circles, my aim is to create a safe space for open dialogue and shared experiences. Here, you will be amongst your community, amongst your people, where your stories will be heard, and your stories will be felt. We'll come together as a group to explore tools for processing the difficult emotions that arise from navigating racism. My background in psychology, human resources, and coaching equips me to guide these discussions and empower you to build a more fulfilling future, both for yourselves and for our community. I want to offer each of you the opportunity for healing and connection.
As a person of color who grew up right here in New Hampshire, I deeply understand the unique challenges faced by our vibrant BIPoC community. My journey, which includes proudly serving in the United States Marine Corps, has instilled in me an unwavering commitment to supporting and empowering others.
Witnessing the strength and vitality of our community firsthand fuels my passion to create healing for the people of color within our beautiful state - racial healing. For several years, I've worked in community mental health, honing my skills to support the specific needs of my community. The needs of OUR community. I am excited to channel that experience into facilitating these powerful group discussions specifically designed for the BIPoC community in New Hampshire.
My expertise lies in fostering a safe and supportive space where we can explore past hurts, navigate life's transitions, and find healing together. Whether you're a veteran or not, our community has faced many challenges. Know that your story is valued. Your voice matters.
Investing in your mental health is investing in your future. If you’re ready to explore how therapy can help you build stronger relationships, navigate challenges with more confidence, and live a more fulfilling life, I invite you to connect.
Let’s start today.
