Nice to meet you
I focus on anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, and trauma. I primarily work with Black women, Black LGBTQ+ individuals, and clients from racially marginalized communities, exploring how oppression affects mental health. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, as you are the expert in your life. I communicate conversationally, asking questions to help you find your own answers. I’m here to support you, not to tell you what to do.
