Are you in a period of transition and kinda know where you want to go, but don’t know what’s in your way? You’ve set the goals, can picture the outcome, but get bogged down in details and “what do I do first?” traps that leave you feeling lost, frustrated and unmotivated. Sound familiar? Lasting change is built and the best architect for that is you. I’m here to be like your favorite Black Queer Auntie on the porch to process what’s been holding you back to get you moving forward. I love working with BIPOC and queer people and couples. Counseling or coaching are options for getting you on your way.
You know it's like to be all the layers of you. We're not going under every trauma rock, but we'll figure out what you want to do now. We can chat, sip tea, or play Mario Kart. This isn't about me fixing you. It's about unlocking your own badassery to get you going. We'll make a workable plan to be accountable to yourself to get where you want to go.
Everyone has stuff. Unpacking that baggage is scary & no one ever needs to do it alone. This is a personal investment in yourself & I want you to know you’re worth it.

I like a menagerie of techniques from good ol' cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused, and some internal family systems. Even Mario Kart. The approach depends on what you as a client needs from the process. That can always be part of our talks.
