You’re a curious seeker, artist, healer, or creative longing to feel at home in your own life. You may be navigating grief, anxiety, depression, and overwhelm while seeking to reclaim your intuition and hear your authentic voice again. You're drawn to therapy that honors both the psychological and the creative; a space where your dreams, your body's wisdom, and your intuition matter. You want to live more authentically, trust your heart and move through life transitions with someone who understands. You're ready to descend into the depths, to move slowly, and to walk the creative, soulful path toward wholeness.
I integrate Jungian & depth therapy, expressive arts and Afro-Indigenous wisdom traditions into my therapeutic approach. Sessions weave conversation with creative exploration: ritual, Tarot, dreamwork, art making and movement. I offer a loving container to explore the unconscious, reclaim ancestral knowing, and find sanctuary in your body and life.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to take the first step. We can schedule a free consultation to explore if we're a good fit and answer any questions you may have. I offer a sliding scale for those in financial need, please don't hesitate to ask. You deserve a space where healing can unfold slowly, at your own pace. I look forward to meeting you.
