You are just as important to your communities as your communities are to you. This framework grounds the work I do. Western concepts of healing have historically enforced rigid individualism as the ideal way of life. However, I believe that understanding who you are, as both an individual and community member, makes space for your more nuanced, wholesome, and expansive narrative. My work with clients focuses on being present with emotions, navigating individual and collective traumas, reconnecting to your physical body, and empowering healing and joy. I'm hoping for healing and liberation for us all!
I am a Black, Caribbean/Central American, Queer, Trans/non-binary/gender non-conforming, fat, neurodivergent and 1st generation american psychotherapist, social worker, dancer, and artist. I practice psychotherapy utilizing client-centered, trauma-informed and intersectional; LGBTQ+, kink/Poly+, and gender affirming; Black Queer feminist interventions.
I continue to use a pre-colonial and anti-oppressive framework. This not only addresses the impactful effects of slavery, colonization, and capitalism but also acknowledges feelings and how they show up in our bodies. I work with individuals, couples and groups. Feel free to reach out if this type of healing journey sounds right for you. Take care!
