About Me
I take a whole person approach to therapy, including overall health, wellness and community connection as integral to mental and emotional healing. I specialize in trauma-informed somatic therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and addressing anxiety with a focus on offering culturally responsive therapy for Black people, People of Color, LGBTQ+ folks and people with disabilities. My work centers on social justice, making mental health therapy accessible and decolonizing traditional psychotherapy systems to better meet the needs of unprotected and under-resourced communities.
I know that deep healing isn't just about sitting and talking.I offer a space where feeling, moving, questioning, and sometimes, just taking a deep breath in acceptance can activate transformation. I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy, and yoga-psychotherapy, activating change in a deeply healing way. I often incorporate mindfulness, spirituality, and attachment theory into my work as it fits the goals and focus of our therapy together.
I typically work with people navigating racial trauma, generational wounds, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions: folx who may feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by expectations that don’t align with who they truly are. I use a collaborative and compassionate approach that can help you explore your story, reclaim your sense of self, and quiet the outside noise, so you can take action in living a life that feels more aligned, intentional, and whole.
Therapy with me is real, relational, casual and I'm sometimes a little awkward. :) Whether we’re meeting in- person at the office, through telehealth, or outside soaking in the nature, I strive to create a space where you feel seen, safe, supported, and empowered.
I look forward to supporting you on your path of healing and self-discovery.
