Many clients come to me because they're experiencing burnout, anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of trauma, especially those shaped by cultural expectations or family dynamics. You might be carrying pain from a parentified childhood or struggling with emotions that have been long suppressed. In our work together, we’ll identify and gently explore those internalized wounds so you can feel more connected, grounded, and whole. Therapy with me is warm and respectful. I’ll meet you where you are, listen closely, and offer support that aligns with your values and identity.

Healing is both a personal and collective journey—one of self-exploration, connection, and unlearning narratives that no longer serve us. As a Black queer therapist, I understand how essential it is to have a space where every part of you is seen, affirmed, and supported. Too often, we're made to feel like we must shrink ourselves to receive care—but true healing should never require you to hide who you are. That’s why I’m committed to creating a warm, affirming, and collaborative space where you can show up fully as yourself, explore your identity with curiosity, and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and self-trust.

I work with adults navigating the full complexity of being human. Whether it manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply a quiet sense that something feels off, I meet every person with curiosity, warmth, and genuine care. I work integratively, drawing from a range of relational and evidence-based approaches, always guided by what serves the particular person in front of me. I am less focused on fixing symptoms and more interested in understanding the whole person.

Physical and mental health are often intertwined, and that led to one of my specialties as a therapist: chronic illness and the impact chronic conditions can have on our mental health. This specialty came from a place of personal understanding and desire to validate the prevalence of medical trauma and the impact chronic pain has on our sense of self. While people often think of chronic illness as a physical illness, mental health diagnoses can also be considered a chronic illness. Often, the symptoms of one can exacerbate the symptoms of the other.
