My specialty is working with Black, brown and multi-ethnic, non-monogamous and QTGNC/questioning folks experiencing depression, anxiety/panic, complex trauma, and relationship or social transitions. In addition, I am experienced serving folks with a range of identities struggling with body image, disordered eating, substance misuse, self-harm, and chronic illness, including chronic pain and social stigma. I work particularly well with folks looking to decolonize their minds, relationships and lives, and generate new values-based, life-affirming constructs for themselves.
Relational, creative and anti-authoritarian, you will find me warm and attuned. We will leverage mindfulness, consciousness-raising, compassion, visualization, parts-work and cognitive interventions to heal your relationship to your past, empower your present, and catalyze growth in the direction of your dreams.
A free 20-minute consultation is the best way to feel for yourself if we could be a good fit to work together, or check out my website for a bit more about me and my work. If anything I've said piqued your interest, I hope you will reach out!
