Orange Tree Counseling & Consulting, LLC

Founder & Executive Director

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is my work.

Whether you’re looking for therapy, clinical supervision, professional consultation, or leadership development, my goal is the same: to help people move toward lives that feel more authentic, empowered, and aligned with who they truly are.

You might be in the right place if…

• You feel like you’ve spent your life taking care of everyone else and aren’t sure how to care for yourself.
• You’re navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, or major life transitions.
• You’re seeking a therapist who understands the impact of culture, identity, systems, and lived experience.
• You want therapy that honors both evidence-based practice and your intuition, spirituality, or ancestral wisdom.
• You’re looking for someone who will challenge you with compassion. Not simply validate every thought, but help you grow through honest reflection.

If that sounds like you, welcome.

I believe healing happens when people are seen as whole human beings, not as diagnoses or collections of symptoms.

My work integrates evidence-based psychotherapy with culturally responsive, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and decolonizing approaches to care. For many clients, healing involves not only understanding patterns and behaviors, but reconnecting with intuition, culture, identity, purpose, and the wisdom they’ve carried all along.

Rather than asking, “What’s wrong with you?” I often ask, “What happened to you?” and “What strengths have helped you survive?” Those questions create space for deeper healing and lasting change.

I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel both supported and challenged because growth rarely comes from comfort alone.

While therapy remains at the heart of my work, it’s only one way I serve others.

I’m the Founder and Executive Director of Orange Tree Counseling & Consulting, where I lead a growing team of clinicians committed to culturally responsive, affirming mental health care. I’m also an educator, clinical supervisor, consultant, and speaker who enjoys helping future therapists, organizations, and leaders build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

My work extends beyond individual sessions because I believe meaningful change happens not only within people, but within communities, workplaces, and systems.

Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. I genuinely believe that we each possess the skills and tools needed to thrive, and through intentional work, we can rediscover those parts of ourselves and emerge from survival mode.

Whether we’re working together through therapy, supervision, consultation, or speaking engagements, my hope is that you leave our work with greater clarity, stronger boundaries, deeper self-trust, and the confidence to build a life that genuinely belongs to you.

Wherever you are on your journey, I’m honored you’re here.

**At this time, I am not accepting new therapy clients. If you’re looking for therapy, my team at Orange Tree Counseling & Consulting may have a clinician who is a great fit. I continue to welcome inquiries about clinical supervision, consultation, and speaking engagements.
