Healing can be a slow process that moves in a spiral; often prompting you to confront similar themes in different chapters of your life. Maybe this is your first time in counseling, or maybe you are wondering “How am I back here again?” Whatever part of this journey you are on, I welcome the opportunity to support you in your travels.
My counseling approach is person-centered—rooted in disability justice, radical Black feminist theory, and an exploration of decolonization practices. The top 3 counseling therapies I integrate in sessions are Psychodynamic Theory, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I am currently pursuing a certification in Expressive Arts Therapy.
I affirm folks from Black, Indigenous, Latine, Arab, and Asian (BILAA) backgrounds; as well as the 2SLGBTQIA+, kink/BDSM, and sex worker communities. Most of my clients are navigating systemic oppression, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, neurodivergence, relationship concerns, ethical non-monogamy/polycules, identity exploration, and adjustment to change. I focus on creating comforting spaces that allow clients to explore emotional vulnerability, strengthen the mind-body connection, and practice relational skills. I’m big on providing resources and helping people establish community care circles.
I am a light-skinned biracial (Black & white) nonbinary queer, navigating a chronic illness. I received my MSED in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University. I’m a performance artist, cartoon lover, meandering hiker, loyal friend, and dog dad.
