Great to meet you!

I’m a queer, Black, nonbinary therapist with a BSW and MSW from Arizona State University. My work combines social work, trauma-informed care, and a deep understanding of systemic issues to support clients navigating emotional challenges, relationship struggles, and identity exploration. I specialize in working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those facing crisis, recovery, and personal growth. My approach is holistic, client-centered, and empowering.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As a queer, Black, nonbinary therapist, I create a safe, inclusive space for self-exploration and healing. My approach helps you connect with your authentic self, embrace your true feelings without judgment, and build meaningful relationships. Whether navigating your identity or seeking growth, I’m here to support you in uncovering your truth and aligning with your deepest values and purpose. Let’s work together to help you feel freely and grow deeply.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you can expect to connect more deeply with your emotional landscape and gain clarity on who you truly are. Together, we’ll explore your inner world, helping you align with your authentic self and develop a profound sense of self-awareness. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your feelings, values, and identity, empowering you to navigate life from a place of alignment and emotional clarity.
