Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm so excited you're here. I can't wait to go along with you on your healing journey. I specialize in working with trauma processing, neurodivergence, identity exploration, existential thoughts, psychiatric harm, interpersonal relationships and sexual well-being.

My approach to therapy

I primarily work with black/multi-racial persons, LGBTQIA2S+ folk, those with disabilities, college students, and those experiencing life transitions. I center my services on working with individuals who have had challenging, oppressive or harmful experiences.

My approach is rooted in empowerment, interpersonal dynamics and liberation. I am a do the work therapist so I strive to find techniques and tools specifically for you, so you walk away from each session feeling like we have truly done the work. Many of my clients have expressed feeling enlightened, empowered and less stressed within our first month.

What you can expect from me

When we work together your voice is at the forefront; leading the way and guiding our path. My goal is to assist you in reaching your goals. I utilize a trauma-responsive, anti-oppressive, holistic perspective to create tailored, comprehensive support for each person.
