Great to meet you!

I am a non-binary black person who likes to work with clients on processing trauma. Sometimes our childhood experiences lend us to make decisions that don’t really benefit us but instead benefits others. I like to dig into why that is and help clients make changes in their life

My approach to therapy

I take on a very relational aspect to my sessions. This helps with processing trauma because the therapeutic relationship is supposed to also provide safety and be a source of healing

What you can expect from me

Clients can feel empowered to make changes they want to make in their life
