Bio:
If you want a therapist that values collaboration, autonomy, and authenticity, I might be a good fit for you! I have a direct, supportive and interactive approach to mental health exploration. As a Afrocentric clinician, I pathologize the 5 Is of oppression (Institutional, Interpersonal, Internalized, Ideological, and Intersectional) and not their responses to them. While my approach is humanistic and client centered, I also leverage CBT, DBT, ACT, and Solution Focused modalities towards your liberation.
I provide a space where you can observe and wade through hard and confusing emotions. We will go at your pace and figure out what you need to navigate your life in a way that accommodates you and doesn't shame you. The space we create together can help you gain a greater understanding of the self in relation to the world and others as you change throughout your life.
My experience is grounded in working with polyamorous folks, queer and trans folks, neurodiverse folks, Black/Indigenous/Brown communities, couples, and young adults. Regardless of your identity, we can create a map for change and development based in compassion and grace.
