The Mending Roots collection
Mending Roots
Healing doesn't only happen in the therapy room. Mending Roots gathers the writing, courses, resources, and tools I've built for BIPOC and first-generation folks — and for the clinicians who walk alongside them. Grounded in culture, trauma-informed, and made for real life.
