Many of the people I work with are carrying anxiety, sadness, family or cultural pressures, or patterns that keep resurfacing. They want a space where they can exhale, feel understood, and explore the roots of what they’re experiencing. As a Black/African American clinician, I bring both personal and professional insight into working with identity, culture, and systemic stressors. I specialize in affirming and empowering Black, Latine/a/x, Indigenous, AAPI, and other People of Color, as well as LGBTQIA+ communities. I provide grounded, collaborative support that helps people feel more connected, confident, and true to themselves.
I offer a grounded, culturally humble space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and the patterns shaped by your history and relationships. Using psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, and mindfulness‑based approaches, I help you understand what you’re experiencing and build the clarity, skills, and confidence to move forward.
I want therapy to feel like a place where you can finally exhale. You don’t need perfect words or a polished story. You can ramble, rethink things, laugh, swear a little, or sit quietly and gather your thoughts. All of that is welcome here, and if you’re ready for support, I’m here to begin that work with you.

I provide psychodynamic treatment primarily which means we will be looking at patterns in your relationships starting from as early as you can remember to retain some of the patterns that work, and let go of those that do not.
