Where there’s a flower, there’s the sun and the rain. oh, but it’s wonderful, they’re both one in the same.

Born and raised in the U.S. South, I carry the resilience and wisdom of my parents, survivors of Jim Crow and the Vietnam War, and the strength and ingenuity of my African and Indigenous ancestors, while reckoning with the complexity and pain of my European lineage. Like each of us, I am a multidimensional being, embracing the contradictions, richness, and wholeness that make us who we are.

I created Whole with Joy because I know what it feels like to carry the weight of the world's conditions to feel broken, insecure, and unsure of how to break free from cycles of pain and scarcity. I didn't know my own value, and that showed up in all of my relationships — platonic, romantic, with money, and even in how I approached my purpose and professional path. But through my journey, I learned it doesn't have to be this way. Transformation is not about fixing what's broken; it's about remembering who we are and rediscovering the joy of being alive.

With 15 years of experience in the mental health field, spanning community care, medical settings, and private practice — I’ve seen both the power and the limits of traditional therapy. My work, shaped by my own transformation and years of clinical practice, goes beyond psychotherapy as it’s typically practiced, which often lacks the spiritual lens essential for true healing.

At the root of our suffering lies soul wounding — disconnection from our true nature that often shows up as internalized scarcity, distorting how we relate to ourselves, money, love, and life itself.

True prosperity isn’t about wealth or status. It’s an embodied knowing that you belong and are already enough. It lives in how you tend to your joy, care for your body, and honor life’s rhythms. This inner knowing transforms everything: our relationships, our work, and the way we move through the world.

My approach is holistic, integrating trauma-conscious care, Earth wisdom, embodied practices, and indigenous healing traditions. I understand suffering, and therefore healing as ecological, spiritual, and relational. Healing begins with belonging: to ourselves, to one another, and to something greater than us.

My work is also informed by the transformative wisdom of motherhood and my understanding that these times are calling us to dig deep, reclaim our power, and rise together in love, in truth, and in abundance that serves the whole.
