Being a Black-Biracial queer femme, I recognize the sense of comfort and safety that is experienced when you see and hear familiarity within mental health practitioners. I am here to bridge the gaps between Blackness, queerness, and mental health care; striving to provide each of my clients with a therapeutic environment where they can be witnessed in safety. I am here to bridge the gaps between Blackness, queerness, and mental health care; striving to provide each of my clients with a therapeutic environment where they can be witnessed in safety.
I know that healing rarely moves in a straight line, every person’s path is their own. In our work together, I adapt my approach, energy, and tools to meet you where you are, creating space for your story to unfold at its own pace.
I work with youth and adults of all identities. I especially love supporting fellow queer and trans racialized folks as navigating the complexities of life. My professional and personal proximity to the child welfare system deeply informs my work, and I have a special place in my heart for teens who want a therapist who doesn’t feel like a therapist.

I work with clients who are queer and BIPOC, and experience complex stress from relationships, identity, work, and mental health. During intakes we will explore your personal narrative, and begin to conceptualize the present issues affecting your life. We will then collaborate on initial goals that you wish to work towards. Some clients find completing tests to be helpful in tracking improvements.
