In my practice, I seek to co-create space with you, which centers your entire self, so that we may embark upon healing with consideration of the myriad and specific systems under which you have lived. I work with a diverse number of clients, and as a queer Black woman, my work is focused on BIPOC and LGBTQ adolescents and adults . My approach to therapy is person-centered and strengths-based, with a fundamental belief in the mind-body-spirit connection. I believe trauma is stored in the body, so I aim to integrate cognitive and somatic modalities.
