About My Clients

You may feel out of place or struggle to trust your worth, carrying the weight of oppression, trauma, or the pressure to fit into a world not built for you. You want to heal, feel at home in yourself, and build a life that feels authentic. I offer a space of care, empathy, and non-judgment. I love working with LGBTQ+ & BIPOC folks, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers, through a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming lens.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic philosophy emphasizes dignity, resilience, and practical strategies for growth. I work to create a secure and compassionate space where clients can explore their identities, heal from trauma, and develop the tools for personal empowerment. I believe in the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and environmental well-being, and aim to empower clients to live authentically and navigate challenges with resilience. My approach fosters self-discovery, healing, and growth through empathy, non-judgment, and collaboration.We will spend our first couple of sessions the problem you want to focus on and determine a course of action from there.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a mixed race-Black, transmasculine, and nonbinary practitioner, I understand the importance of being seen and affirmed. I approach therapy with a commitment to creating a secure, affirming space where clients can unfold into their most authentic selves.
