As a licensed Black and multiracial clinician, I aim to make my practice a place where my clients - particularly people of color - can have a brave space to unlearn old survival patterns and step into their deepest truth, intimacy, and pleasure.
Whether it’s healing from depression, breaking codependency, reclaiming life after trauma, or seeking sexual fulfillment, this is about reclaiming your full self. I see therapy as an initiation into authenticity – creating and living the life you and your spirit long for. Together, we will build emotional resilience and learn communication skills to navigate life’s challenges with courage.
I'm trained from a relational psychodynamic lens but have worked with many different modalities. I offer a background in codependence recovery, interracial relationships, multiracial identity, & sexuality and desire in women of color. I am a Native New Yorker which I think contributes to me being direct, but I am also very compassionate. Very Sex Positive
I have taught yoga and meditation for 15 years and studied various healing modalities including herbalism, naturopathy and tantra. 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 and sexual needs met.
