As a Black queer disabled therapist, I navigate multiple identities that shape my worldview and therapeutic practice. Depending on the environment—be it academic, professional, or social—I often encounter challenges in aligning with my authentic self due to societal expectations. Stereotypes, non-inclusivity, and rigid beliefs can create barriers not only for me but also for the clients I serve. Many of them arrive feeling constrained by patterns that no longer serve them, seeking a path toward healing and self-discovery.

I understand that this journey can be fraught with challenges. Systemic barriers, dysfunctional thought patterns, and the inherent difficulties of navigating change can impede progress. My approach to healing is both personable and humanistic, grounded in a social justice framework. I believe that therapy should not only address individual struggles but also recognize the larger societal contexts that contribute to these challenges. Together, we will acknowledge systemic barriers, gain clarity, explore your core values, and embrace the positive change that leads to a life aligned with your growth.

I draw from various theoretical orientations, particularly Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Each client’s journey is unique, and I am committed to tailoring interventions to meet your specific needs. Whether accommodating your preferred methods of engagement or re-evaluating strategies to ensure accessibility, my goal is to create a supportive space where you can thrive.

My approach is strengths-based. Together, we will redefine challenges as opportunities for growth, avoiding the pitfalls of toxic positivity. This process involves crafting a personalized roadmap that reflects your aspirations and encourages resilience. I am dedicated to providing transformative therapeutic sessions that affirm and empower individuals of all genders, sexualities, and races.

Let's embark on this journey together, fostering fulfillment and success as we navigate the complexities of your life. Your story is important, and I am here to honor it, guiding you toward a more authentic and empowered self.
