Overview

If you’re an adult who:

● struggles to maintain healthy relationships that also honor your own needs
● is exhausted from always putting other people first or people-pleasing
● feels like you can’t ever express yourself in ways that people understand
● feels shut down in our current political climate

As a Black neuroqueer and non-binary therapist, I understand how challenging it can be when parts of yourself feel unseen or unacknowledged. I work to create a space that acknowledges how systems of oppression and trauma intersect with your identities to impact your experiences. I help folks like us by combining practical skill-building with deeper exploration of your relationship patterns. Together, we’ll support you to become liberated into a more functional version of yourself.

You deserve a therapeutic relationship where all aspects of your identity are welcomed and honored. I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are in your journey, without judgment or preconceptions. If you’re ready to transform your relationship with yourself and others, I invite you to reach out for a consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
