It seems nearly impossible for folx to live honestly, freely, and unabashedly in today’s world. As a Black and queer therapist, I am dedicated to resistance; I help folx to get honest with themselves and others, to use their values to shape life goals, to unlearn restrictive mores that have aided in their oppressive, and to live a more liberating and affirming life.

Being an amazing black female therapist means embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity. It means acknowledging the unique struggles that marginalized communities face and actively working to provide support, understanding, and healing. It means using my platform to advocate for equality, justice, and mental health awareness. My goal is to break down barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health within the black community and to provide accessible and culturally sensitive care.

Are you tired of fighting anxiety, depression, and societal pressures alone? Then I am here to stand side by side and fight with you. As your therapist, whom has completed therapy for my own anxiety, I know what it feels like to fight alone and to have an advocating therapist. The societal pressures that black, brown, indigenous children and adults face are overwhelming and unfair. But there are ways to authentically walk in your skin. And I am here to help you in your walk!

I prioritize creating safe and courageous spaces for Black and Brown people to ensure that they receive the expert care we need and deserve.
You know relationships to take effort, but this is too much! Conversations go nowhere; it's like you don't even speak the same language. You want off this rollercoaster. The connection is gone, and intimacy feels like another task you just need to get over with. You ask, "Is this as good as it gets?" Or maybe you just got out of a relationship like that, and you're sick of the dating world already- the aimless small talk, and “good morning” texts. You’re trying to keep an open mind, but you are ready to put that dating profile on pause. You long for a relationship where you feel supported, desired, and understood.

Yes, reading through all these profiles is a lot. Listen, you already know that something is wrong, you already know it’s a cycle, and you already know that something has got to change. Your wife, your gal or ya dude has already told you that if you don’t stop, they're leaving you, your job is probably tripping, you have already pissed off your family members, and now you’re here. Struggling with communicating exactly what's going on, and how you feel (that's if you even know how you feel, things have gotten so complicated that your don't even know anymore). Let me help you break the cycle, and learn a better way of doing things.
