Great to meet you!

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. As a black, queer, non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do.

My approach to therapy

My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach. I work with clients at every stage of development in 1:1, couples, and family sessions. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be innovative, caring, and nonjudgmental and that they appreciate that I am responsive, honest, and direct with them.

What you can expect from me

You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world. When we work together, I will tailor my approach to meet your needs and help you reach your goals.
