As a queer Black therapist, I create a space where you do not have to explain or defend the many parts of who you are. I have lived experience and enjoy processing with my people through therapy, sound bowl, and yoga should the session call for it. We keep it real and may keekee while we process together. I specialize in working with transgender, nonbinary, and questioning teens and adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, and family or religious wounds. I am sex positive/kink-affirming, and I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, academic and professional stress.

I typically work with teens age 16 and up and adults from Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA2S+ communities. Many carry racial/gender exploration trauma, family rejection, code-switching, and chronic exhaustion which we work through to help you experience joy through processing and learning skills that actually help you thrive.

Whether you’re trying to stabilize, understand yourself more deeply, or move through something that’s been sitting with you for a long time, this is a space where all parts of you are welcome; not just the polished or “acceptable” ones. I’m currently accepting new patients. Please visit the website to schedule a free consultation call!
