With over 20 years of experience, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, dedicated to helping individuals and couples overcome relationship challenges, heal from trauma, and build lasting emotional connections. My therapeutic approach blends clinical expertise, lived experience,...
…and a deep understanding of emotional patterns to guide clients through communication issues, co-parenting struggles, emotional disconnection, and relational trauma.
In addition to therapy, I am a motivational speaker, relationship coach, and the founder of Allishaz Distractions LLC —a heart-led platform focused on empowering couples through self-awareness, emotional healing, and intentional growth. I regularly share practical relationship tips on Instagram and TikTok, reaching a global audience seeking clarity and connection.
What truly sets me apart is my vulnerability and authenticity. As a wife and mother with over two decades of personal relationship experience, I bring real-life wisdom to my work. My journey navigating a rare form of diabetes, anxiety, and depression has given me a deep compassion for others who feel unseen in their emotional battles.
As a lesbian woman of color, I champion inclusion, diversity, and affirming therapy practices. I create safe, welcoming spaces for individuals and couples from all backgrounds to explore their truth, build deeper intimacy, and rewrite generational relationship patterns.
I’m also the author of Distractions of the Heart, a poetry collection that invites readers to reflect on their own emotional truths and relational patterns.
Whether you’re seeking support through relationship trauma, rebuilding trust, navigating LGBTQ+ couple dynamics, or striving for deeper emotional intimacy, I’m here to walk that path with you. My mission through Allishaz Distractions LLC is to help you heal, connect, and thrive—because every love story deserves the chance to flourish.
