Carl Jung said, "I would rather be whole than good." Very often we put pressure on ourselves to "be" a certain way, so much that life can start to feel like acting versus living. This pressure tends to place stress on individuals and can often lead to anxiety, depression, and stress. I believe that therapy can be a tool to take off the masks we have learned to put on and begin to live from our whole self; finding freedom and our creativity. I believe that through compassion for all the parts of ourself we step closer to freedom.
I primarily work relationally with clients and thinking about psychotherapy through the lens of integral, gestalt, multicultural, psychodynamic, and sex-positive lenses. I offer a background in anger in women, Black identity, codependency, intergenerational trauma, interracial relationships, multiracial identity, and sexuality and desire in women of color.
I have practiced yoga and meditation, and studied various healing modalities and metaphysics over the last 15 years and have taught yoga for over 10 years. I enjoy supporting folks who are inquiring into their spirituality and soul. I also love working with women navigating re-entering the dating game and getting their intimacy needs met.

I work with clients who are learning to heal over-functioning and caretaking for others and codependent patterns that have led them to lose themselves and de-prioritize their needs and wants. I support clients with building sense of self, learning to identify what they truly want in various areas of their life and living more fully and authentically.
