As a provider who is Black, queer, and neurodivergent, I offer a unique perspective when it comes to mental health and well-being. I understand that your challenges don’t define you, but they’re just part of your story, not the whole of who you are. I am open, ready to listen, and want to normalize and support your experiences and feelings. I mainly work with professionals with ADHD, autism, anxiety, stress, racial identity issues, transgender/queer challenges and burnout. We will yap about hobbies and special interests while working together to develop a personalized treatment plan to empower your journey to sustainable wellness.
I am passionate about serving BIPOC and queer communities of Tennessee and New York. I integrate medications, lifestyle modifications, and holistic, evidence-based alternatives to manage symptoms, while promoting growth and self-acceptance. I offer gender affirming hormone therapy/hormone replacement therapy (GAHT/HRT). I also speak Spanish.
I know asking for help can be hard and takes courage. You are definitely not alone. I hope to be a long term partner in assisting you reach your goals and empower you in your mental health journey. I provide trauma-informed care in a judgement-free zone. Please visit our website for a speedier booking process. I am currently accepting new clients!
