About My Clients
For many of my clients it is no longer sustainable to compartmentalize life and follow a life routine that holds very little meaning or feeling. Many of my clients are seeking depth-oriented exploration of the parts of themselves--they are curious about their potential beyond the patterns that limit their growth. Therapy is the place where my clients are invited to awaken to their sense of self and activate their own inner intelligence to dream again and thrive.
My Background and Approach
My psychotherapy practice is holistic in its foundation—meaning my primary focus is the whole person. Everything a person brings into therapy is important, valid and worthy of exploration. I hold sacred the intersectionality of race, age, sexuality, religion, gender, ability, socio-economic background, citizenship status and more. All identities are welcome in my practice, which I hold with integrity and respect. I work with the understanding that people are multiplicitous and there exist unique relationships to the many parts of the self. As an African American womxn, I understand the importance of linking our mental health to re-remembering our personal narratives and evolving identities. I am an advocate for addressing historical harms and healing intergenerational wounds through trauma-informed practices that can include ancestral veneration, expressive arts, mindfulness, depth/dream analysis, nature-based spirituality and the exploration of consciousness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I grew up where social justice was a regular topic of conversation at the kitchen table. My family linked personal success with knowing one's self, history and culture as a source of strength. I have worked and lived within a variety of communities and have had the opportunity to learn from many rich cultural traditions. It is important to me to practice cultural humility by being respectful and curious. As a clinician, I believe deeply in the exploration of ancient ancestral wisdom as a psychological resource. Over the last few years I have been working with traditional African Indigenous practices and honoring the wisdom of plant medicines to help heal generational trauma. I have completed my training with MAPS to forward research and make psychedelic-assisted therapy accessible to BIPOC communities. I am allied with the LGBTQIA+ and Poly/Sex-Positive communities.
