Change begins with a choice. If you are here, it is because you are choosing yourself. Congratulations on the first step! In my work with clients, I help them identify and embody a life in line with their own values. I work from an intersectional framework that incorporates identity, culture, and actionable strategies. Whether we are learning new skills or unlearning old mindsets, I’m here to help you through the process.
With 7+ years of clinical practice, I have experience working with a wide range of presenting concerns including: anxiety, depression, identity work, relational conflict, life transitions, and family of origin concerns.
My aim is to co-create an affirming and supportive space that will both encourage and challenge you to grow. I have a particular interest in meeting the needs of BIPOC, Black women, and LGBTQIA+ communities. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself. If you’d like to talk more about your goals and our fit, reach out for a consultation!
