Infant Family Specialist and Reflective Supervisor
Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Expert | Clinician | Educator | Workforce Development Consultant|Black Maternal Health Advocate
I believe meaningful healing happens in relationships—with ourselves, with one another, and within the communities that shape our lives.
My approach is grounded in three core commitments:
One
Relational Wellness
Our earliest relationships lay the foundation for how we experience safety, connection, emotional regulation, and belonging. I help caregivers, families, and professionals better understand the power of responsive, nurturing relationships in supporting lifelong mental health.
Two
Culturally Responsive Care
Our identities, histories, cultures, and lived experiences matter. My work creates space for cultural strengths, ancestral wisdom, and the voices of families who have too often been overlooked.
Three
Intergenerational Healing
We inherit more than trauma. We also inherit resilience, wisdom, love, and the capacity for connection.
I believe in helping individuals and families recognize patterns that no longer serve them while celebrating the strengths they already possess. Through intentional healing and nurturing relationships, we can create new legacies of emotional wellness for generations to come.
My professional journey has included clinical practice, nonprofit leadership, family advocacy, workforce development, and higher education. Each experience has deepened my commitment to strengthening the systems and relationships that support children and families.

Let's Build Healthier Generations Together.
Whether you're seeking therapeutic support, professional development, reflective supervision, or organizational consultation, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
Can I take a moment to introduce myself?
My name is Amaris.
I am a relationship enthusiast.
I believe in the power of connection. I believe it heals us. Humans need to be connected to other humans. We are built to have relationships- connection and community with others. It's how we become our best selves. But oh how relationships can get messy. Truthfully, relationships have been difficult since the very beginning. Yes, all of them: parent- child relationships, marriages, friendships and even our relationship with ourselves. The evidence lies in generations of trauma and dysfunction. If we're honest, none of us have escaped some damage in relationships. Yet, there's is a more excellent way...
This is why I founded Queendom Come Coaching, LLC. I wanted to create a place where we could heal from intergenerational trauma and learn to have healthy connections-the way it was intended.
Healthy relationships are possible.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and endorsed as an Infant Family Specialist and Reflective Supervisor. I am trained in multiple evidence-based interventions that support relational, social and emotional wellness for both young children and adults.
As a relationship focused therapist, I have a deep passion for supporting relational health, beginning even as early as the prenatal period. As an infant and early childhood mental health(IECMH) and perinatal mental health professional(PMH-C), I have an understanding of family dynamics and relationship building at an individual & family level. Our families are our first experience with relationships. If we can prioritize early relational health, we can create generational patterns of healing and wholeness.
That's why I also focus on the relationships between partners. As a marriage therapist, I share tools to help marriages thrive and equip those preparing for marriage with the necessary resources to develop healthy marriage goals. Couples often need support to navigate the impacts of their early relationships and I'm devoted to helping.
Whether with a parent struggling to adjust with a new baby or a couple deciding to take the next step toward marriage, I use a trauma informed approach to address concerns. Our stories, experiences and culture matter- I make room for it all in the therapy session.
I have a contagious passion for educating families on mental wellness and the impacts on intergenerational trauma on children and families. I have a joy for facilitating workshops, groups and community conversations to address both individual and family concerns.
Hi. I'm Amaris.

With faith in relationships,
