About

Finding the support that you need is no easy feat, and the fact that you are here is a wonderful first step. By consistently cultivating a liberating and judgement-free space, I aim to help you explore personal challenges through an empathic and compassionate lens. My therapeutic style is best described as eclectic; however, I often utilize narrative therapy to help people gain a more holistic understanding of their thought patterns and behaviors. As a queer Black person who enjoys working with other marginalized folks, I believe in taking an intersectional, person-centered, and strengths-based approach to therapy for empowerment. My main specialties are queer issues - particularly transgender and gender nonconforming issues - PTSD/trauma, and sex-related issues. I also have clinical experience with ethical nonmonogamy (ENM)/polyamory-related issues, multicultural concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, boundary-setting, and helping survivors heal after physical and emotional abuse.
