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.

My specialties include LGBTQIA+ concerns (including referral letters for gender-affirming care), early childhood trauma, men's issues, relationship concerns shame, anger, depression, anxiety, and work-related concerns.
The most common phrase I hear when I ask new clients to describe themselves is "not good enough." As a result of invalidating life experiences, many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance. In order to avoid potential rejection, we suppress aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable, and we present a fragmented or incomplete version of ourselves to the world. While this can be advantageous in some environments, it also can become a barrier to intimacy. Many of my clients struggle to be vulnerable and find it challenging to embrace their full, authentic selves.

I am extensively trained in Sex Therapy, LGBTQ+ Therapy, and The Gottman Method.
I became a therapist out of a passion and love in walking others through the storms of life. We all experience times in our lives that leave us bruised, battered, and beaten. As a therapist, my goal is to help you find a way out of your storm and become a stronger, more resilient, and more fulfilled person. The basis for my practice is Existential Therapy, where I help clients truly grasp their relationships with themselves and the world around them. I bring in other therapeutic techniques and styles to individualize treatment to what each client needs and wants out of therapy.

I specialize with LGBTQ+ adults of color from dysfunctional families.
I see you. You're here because something isn't working. You know it is time to do the work of addressing current challenges so you can move through this chapter of life in a healthier way that honors you. Working up the nerve to go to therapy can feel like a overwhelming process, but it doesn't have to be. While there may be some anxiety-provoking aspects of working with me for the first time (or any therapist for that matter), you don't have to do it alone. You can bring ALL of who you are to our work together, and you've come to the right place!

I hold a PhD in Clinical Sexology, dual certification as a Sex Therapist (AASECT & IICS), and certification as a Queer and Transgender Affirming Professional.
Finding the right therapist is sometimes the hardest part of the counseling process. The challenge of matching a therapist's personality and approach to counseling with a client's needs can sometimes feel like trial and error, but is a vital part of the process. I believe that the start of any new relationship, therapeutic or otherwise, begins with building rapport and simply becoming comfortable with each other. Once established, the real work can begin.

I find particular connection with clients with identities including BIPOC and LGBTQ+.
Do you feel overwhelmed by work, your relationships, or changes in your life? Do you ever find yourself wondering “Why do others look like they have their lives together and I’m struggling to just be me”? It can sometimes feel too painful to explore these questions alone and even scarier to let someone else be there to explore them with you. I understand that struggle and would be honored to work with you at your pace to figure out what it takes for you to feel satisfied and fulfilled.

There is no manual for the LGBTQ experience. People in our community often find themselves having spent their childhood trying to stay safe, only to reach adulthood without the skills and relationships to have the fulfilling life they deserve. We often feel like we are spending our lives playing catch up, trying to reclaim our past while living out our present and future all at the same time.

As a queer person from a non-affirming religious background, I recognize how overwhelming it can be to start unlearning internalized negative beliefs about ourselves.
Growing up, you had to deny parts of yourself in order to be loved. Maybe you grew up in a family, culture, or religious background that rejected aspects of your identity, so you learned to repress or abandon parts of yourself in order to fit in. In adulthood, you find yourself struggling to form deep connections with yourself and others. On your hardest days, you might even question whether you’re lovable at all, or if maybe you’re too broken to ever fully feel whole.
