I'm an eclectic therapist, which means I meet you where you are and use a mix of approaches to help you feel seen and supported. I work with clients seeking to be their authentic selves while gaining tools to navigate life’s unexpected challenges. As a queer, single Black mom, I draw on both my professional training and personal experiences to support you in navigating systems and processing trauma, empowering you to take the actions needed to create the life you desire.
