Welcome! As a therapist, I strive to reflect upon and understand the needs of my clients. Navigating life and all its challenges can be tough - we can all use a bit of support from time to time. Managing our moods, our needs, and learning to express them effectively is no easy task. I believe we all seek understanding, kindness, and compassion in our lives. Increasing our sense of confidence in living a life aligned with our goals and desires is the key to improved well-being. I am a client-centered, Black, queer therapist. I work collaboratively with clients to approach mental health concerns with empathy, and investment in the goals we set. I am committed to providing mental health care that is trauma-informed and person-centered. Together, we can create a space that is conducive to healing and support. Seeking support is often the most difficult but, most important step to feeling in control of our lives. I welcome you to connect with me and continue your journey of mental and emotional health.
