I'm a biracial/black therapist that centers identity, healing and autonomy. Born and raised in upstate New York but I feel like I belong everywhere. Growing up among different families while staying connected to my roots gave me a unique perspective on identity, belonging, and community. These experiences continue to shape how I see and engage with the world. My areas of focus are rooted in the things I care most deeply about and the communities I feel connected to. I’m especially drawn to working with people who are carrying trauma, anxiety, identity struggles, relationship wounds, life transitions, and grief/loss.
My identity deeply informs my practice. I know what it means to navigate spaces that were not built with you in mind, to feel the weight of expectations, and to carry parts of yourself that may have been misunderstood, silenced, or pushed aside. Because of that, I try to create a space that feels warm, grounded, and real.
When working with me, I want people to know we are on their time, to connect, understand and unpack together. Because of that, I try to create a space that feels warm, grounded, and real. I see therapy as a place to learn, unlearn, softly challenge and get curious about connecting back to yourself.

For years, I've walked alongside folks exploring who they are, what they're becoming, and what they've had to let go of along the way. My approach blends clinical skill with deep listening, cultural humility, and an authentic presence, creating space where you can be fully yourself.

I work from a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens that honors the complexity of identity, particularly for BIPOC and LGBTQ clients who may be navigating systemic stress, generational trauma, or the ongoing work of self-definition. In our sessions, you can expect a balance of reflection and gentle challenge.
