I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel free to let their true selves be seen. We all innately crave love, connection, and healthy relationships. We were not created to do life alone. I view each person as a holistic being, considering your mental, physical, relational, emotional, and spiritual health as we journey together towards healing, growth, and a meaningful life.

Often in times of stress, we don’t even realize how much emotional energy we are using just to get through the day. Whether you’re finding yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed, in pain, alone, facing difficulties with family members, or experiencing recurring issues in close relationships, being able to talk about it can bring relief and even be life changing. Having a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic space to address difficult, painful, or overwhelming feelings or problems can equip you to manage the adverse periods that life brings, feel better, and experience more satisfaction in your relationships and within yourself.

As a queer, Black woman and ex-athlete, building relationships has been the forefront to my experience of life. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, psychodynamic, emotion-focused, sex-positive, and anti-oppressive. I was directly trained in issues related to domestic violence, delivering clinical care to survivors, crisis stabilization, and safety planning. While I focus on role play and Reality Therapy, I utilize an integrative approach to align with your needs and goals, and I seek resources and research to support my clinical work so I can ensure quality, evidence-based care.

I’m a therapist passionate about helping people navigate the complex relationship between eating disorders and trauma. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection and curiosity—whether with ourselves, others, or within the therapeutic relationship. Creating a safe, supportive space is my priority, allowing clients to explore their experiences without judgment. I’ve seen firsthand how trauma can shape our relationships with food and our bodies. Many times, eating disorders serve as a way to cope with deeper emotional pain.
