About My Clients
My clients are the “strong ones”. Self-aware, high-achieving, and the people everyone else relies on. On the outside, they have it together. Underneath, they’re burnt out, overwhelmed, and tired of constantly performing. They struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and a pressure to keep going no matter what, even when it’s costing them their well-being. At some point, they realize this isn’t sustainable, and they’re ready to stop living on autopilot and start choosing themselves.
My Background and Approach
I’m a trauma-informed therapist and the founder of Becoming You Counseling, where I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and the lasting impacts of trauma. My approach is collaborative, warm, and integrative—I blend Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic (body-based) work, and humanistic therapy to help you move beyond just understanding your patterns and actually begin to feel and shift them. I believe many of the struggles my clients face are rooted in past experiences, and together we explore those connections while helping your nervous system find safety in the present. As a Black, queer therapist, I prioritize creating a space that feels authentic, affirming, and culturally sensitive, where you can show up fully as yourself and begin to reconnect with who you truly are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I see therapy as a space where you finally get to slow down, breathe, and look honestly at the life you’re living. I believe a lot of who we become is shaped by parts of us that learned how to stay safe, often by shrinking, performing, or becoming who others needed. To me, becoming who you are is about unbecoming everything that isn’t you. I’m especially drawn to working with people whose identities have been built around others. I love helping clients break out of polarized identities such as the “strong one,” the “perfect one,” and the “easy one”, and reconnect with their full, complex, human self. My work is about helping you stop performing a life that looks good and start living one that actually feels like yours. I deeply value inclusivity and love working with individuals from all backgrounds, creating a space where you can show up fully, feel safe, and come home to who you really are.
