I’m a fully-licensed therapist (LCSW) with 12+ years of clinical experience serving adults— individuals and couples (partners, triads, polycules, etc; monogamous or CNM). The therapy space I create alongside my clients is one that prioritizes safety, where stories can be shared, feelings can be processed without judgment, and all parts of clients’ selves are worthy and welcome. As a Black Queer therapist, I enjoy serving clients with diverse backgrounds. I practice therapy from a trauma-informed, decolonizing, healing justice lens. I affirm and celebrate racial/ethnic diversity; queer, trans, and gender nonconforming identities; visible and invisible disability; body diversity, and neurodiversity. I am a humanistic provider and I utilize IFS, ACT, EFT, and narrative therapeutic modalities in my practice. I believe strongly in my clients’ inherent worth and capacity for growth and healing. As a therapist who serves primarily socially or economically marginalized clients, I’m heavily invested in a sliding scale/mutual aid model of payment. This fee model is a collective care pricing system where costs for goods or services— like therapy— are adjusted based on an individual’s income and financial ability. This gives greater access/affordability to those who are uninsured, underinsured, or who might otherwise not be able to afford therapy. Clients who have greater financial resources, and thus are able to pay the full session fee, help sustain a community-based support system that is divorced from the predatory and oppressive medical industrial complex (MIC).

My expertise is in helping folks navigate: life transitions; relationship and family conflict; parenting and caregiver stress; values clarification; self-esteem injury; anxiety; depression; helping profession burnout (physicians and other medical providers, nurses, social workers, and psychologists, including students of the aforementioned professions); cancer and other serious or chronic illness (patient, parent of pediatric patient, or loved one/caregiver); and bereavement and complex grief. I hold my oncology certification (OSW-C) from the Board of Oncology Social Work and have extensive experience providing mental health services in healthcare settings.
