Me & My Approach

My journey as a therapist is deeply intertwined with my lived experience as a Black queer disabled woman. I bring to our work a background in advocating for vulnerable communities experiencing domestic violence, homelessness, substance use, and disability. Through my professional training and lived experience, I have developed a personal understanding of how our socio-political, economic, and cultural environments impact our mental health and well-being.

Our work together will be a collaborative journey that integrates psychodynamic, narrative, and somatic therapies. We will:

  • Explore how your past experiences, relationships, and social context shape your present, while building new understanding and patterns that serve your healing.

  • Examine the stories you've been told about yourself and your experiences, working to craft narratives that center your strength and agency.

  • Attend to your body's wisdom, by working with your nervous system to build capacity for regulation and resilience.

These approaches are woven together within a liberation-oriented framework that:

  • Acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression on your mental health

  • Validates & centers the wisdom you've gained through your own lived experience

  • Supports you in defining healing on your own terms

  • Celebrates resistance, resilience, and radical self-love
