The most important part of the therapeutic process is the bond or relationship between you and your therapist. After establishing the client/therapist bond, I've seen individuals achieve their goals and make significant improvements in overall wellbeing. The therapy style I provide is rooted in Black or Afrocentric world view as well as Queer and Feminist theories to incorporate your intersectional identity and unique life experience into therapy.

I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is the key to developing a plan for change and that therapy is a collaborative process. I relate to clients with warmth and honesty (as well as some occasional humor) that promotes space for non-judgmental and empathic exploration of experiences. My goal is to provide a friendly, safe environment where clients can authentically express themselves and gain insight that informs meaningful change. As a generalist psychologist, I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds with a variety of presenting concerns.

I specialize in helping adults and adolescents who are struggling through difficult life situations. My hope is that my clients will begin to emerge from the experience with strength, insight and a sense of empowerment to address the next challenge with grace. Using a strengths-based approach, I employ concepts of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to increase self-awareness and choice within life's challenges. I also use EMDR, an evidence-based approach, to help release the impact of past experiences on current emotions, thoughts and behaviors including traumatic events and childhood trauma.

The clients I work with have oftentimes felt disenfranchised and misunderstood. They put forth amazing effort, but continue to struggle in finding a path out of cycles of survival, trauma, and scarcity. They are interested in their own growth and change across a variety of realms - relationships, family, identity, and purpose. They are open to self-reflection, even though it can be scary. Goals include: learning to be interdependent instead of people pleasing, finding a sense of self after a life of trauma, slowing cycles of self-harm & suicidal ideation, moving from self-loathing to peace, and navigating systemic violence.
