My Ideal Client

Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, you deserve a therapist who will be open and supportive yet willing to challenge you gently when needed. With an approach that combines connection and boundaries, we can work together to help you find the agency you need to move through life with pleasure.

My Approach to Helping

My work centers on providing intersectional, pleasure focused, trauma informed therapy for individuals, couples, and polyamorous /nonmonogamous folks to create a space for queer affirming, relationship counseling. My mission is to provide comprehensive and systemic relational therapy centered on providing spaces for self agency and trauma informed care. My philosophy and approach is centered on mindful, contextual, emotion focused and trans-generational practices.

Why We are a Good Fit for You

I am a speaker, advocate and mental health professional with a Masters degree in marriage couple and family therapy from Lewis and Clark College. I also holds bachelor degrees in psychology, philosophy, and women's and gender studies from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. As a queer Black woman, I am committed to providing trans-generational contextual and emotion-focused therapy to people of color, LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, and kink communities.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • LGBTQ Issues External link

    With previous degrees in Women's and Gender Studies and a background in sexuality I can affirm not only an understanding of LGBTQ issues from an academic perspective but also from a lived experience.

  • Cultural and Systemic Oppression External link

    Navigating cultural and systemic oppression has been a lifelong journey. it's important that I share the knowledge that I have cultivated with others. As a Black queer woman, living in marginalized spaces, I am able to understand systemic oppression from different lenses. With coursework stemming from women’s and gender studies, to philosophy to psychology I built a foundation of understanding to help clients acknowledge how systems of oppression operate In their lives snd create change.
