I am a Black, Caribbean/Central American, Queer, Trans*/non-binary/gender non-conforming, fat, neurodivergent, working class, African diasporic spiritualist and 1st generation american psychotherapist, social worker, facilitator, dancer, choreographer and artist. I practice psychotherapy utilizing client-centered, trauma-informed and intersectional; LGBTQ+, kink/Poly+, and gender affirming; Black Queer feminist interventions.
I continue to use a pre-colonial, anti-oppressive, and Black diasporic ancestral framework. This not only addresses the impactful effects of slavery, colonization, and capitalism but also acknowledges feelings and ho they show up in our bodies.My work with clients focuses on being present with emotions, navigating individual and collective traumas, reconnecting to your physical body, and empowering healing and joy. I'm hoping for healing and liberation for us all!
You are just as important to your communities as your communities are to you. This framework grounds the work I do. Western concepts of healing have historically enforced rigid individualism as the ideal way of life. However, I believe that understanding who you are, as both an individual and community member, makes space for your more nuanced, wholesome, and expansive narrative.
