“ I am a queer Black person who enjoys helping others belonging to marginalized communities. I believe in taking an intersectional, person-centered, and strengths-based approach to therapy, as a way of better empowering those impacted by oppressive societal systems”.

“Finding the support that you need is no easy feat, and the fact that you are here is a wonderful first step. By consistently cultivating a liberating and judgement-free space, I aim to help you explore personal challenges through an empathic and compassionate lens.

My therapeutic style is best described as eclectic; however, I often utilize narrative therapy to help people gain a more holistic understanding of their thought patterns and behaviors.

My main specialties include LGBTQIA+ issues, PTSD/trauma, and sex-related issues. Additionally, I also have clinical experience with ethical nonmonogamy (ENM)/polyamory-related issues, multicultural concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, boundary-setting, and helping survivors heal after physical, emotional, and/or sexual abuse.

I provide letters for gender-affirming surgeries, and mental health leaves of absence. With an open heart and mind, I look forward to building a warm and fruitful therapeutic relationship. Let’s work together to help you flourish!
