Great to meet you!

Schedule a consultation and sessions at: https://parksandpowers.as.me/. I am a CA Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Relationship Coach, Clinical Supervisor, and Educator. I am also a PhD with research experience in the areas of sexual trauma and post traumatic growth.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use mind/body integrated and transpersonal approaches to therapy. I approach therapy from an Afrocentric perspective- this means that I see the overriding focus of life and, indeed the goal of the mentally healthy person, is to be in harmony with the forces of life. I have extensive training and experience that I apply toward helping folx recover from sex, love, and relationship trauma as well as oppression-based traumas.

What you can expect from our first session

I love partnering with BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and People of Color] and LGBTQIA+ folx in therapy, and work to create a safe space for ALL people. My approach in therapy honors your decisions and choices throughout the therapeutic process and allows you to be an active participant co-leading treatment.
