You're a highly sensitive, creative, and empathic person who is ready to heal. You dream of an integrated life where your emotions, intuition, and spirit coexist. A life where healthy relationships flourish and the trauma of your past is finally laid to rest. You may feel exhausted by the pain of your childhood, old relationships, and even current circumstances. In turn, this has created a hunger for a safe space where you can show up as your full self. Welcome. You're home.
I'm a Black woman who is dedicated to serving BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. I help individuals heal from trauma, codependency, depression, anxiety, and childhood dysfunction. With training in EMDR and psychodynamic depth therapy, I focus on creating a safe relationship where you can learn how your internal world colors your external experience.
In our work together, you can expect to be challenged and nurtured, seen and heard, held and empowered. Often our life pulls at us when it is time to turn inward and tend to our soul’s deepest needs. Should you be experiencing this pull, reach out for a consultation to see if I’m the right companion for your journey.

I work with individuals who are in the "now what" stage. They've survived trauma, but are now grappling with how it impacts their daily life and relationships. Together, we will build a plan that includes talk therapy, EMDR therapy, and even holistic lifestyle shifts. I use the therapeutic relationship as a vessel for healing, leading clients to build a sense of trust, safety, and hope.

I use psychodynamic therapy with my clients, which is a form of talk therapy that invites us to explore how our past shapes our present. I also use eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), a form of somatic therapy to help clients heal traumatic memories. My approach is heavily influenced by intersectionality, a concept that accounts for the ways systemic oppression impacts each of us.
