Life is messy, complicated, and we do not always have the answers to 'fix' problems or issues. What we do have is the ability to overcome, survive, process, and become better individuals, partners, and family members. It is through that process that we develop the skills, values, and strength to go on with life. Our stories, past, present, and future, are all relevant to who we are and who we want to become.

I support you in attaining these tools and skills through active listening, a non-judgmental stance, and respectful dialogue. My goal is to address your unique needs through varying therapeutic approaches depending on the context of your situation. I draw on solution-focused, strength-based, sex-positive, and trauma-focused frameworks, and I incorporate Hip Hop therapy techniques within EMDR. I use EMDR to help process trauma, sex therapy to explore intimacy and identity, and talk therapy to reframe harmful narratives.

Safety and respect are my priority as we work together to invite change and develop helpful strategies. My passion is supporting individuals who identify as members of BIPOC and minority communities, and I am deeply committed to Black mental health and wellness. Sessions are client-centered, culturally grounded, and supportive. You will build presence, emotional tolerance, and self-understanding at a pace that honors your lived experience.

I am available most work weekdays and Sundays, and I offer all sessions virtually. If you want someone to work with you to facilitate change or personal transformation, feel free to connect for a free 15-minute consultation.
