About My Clients

I envision therapy as a radical healing space where communities of color, especially Black communities, can feel empowered and validated in spite of life’s messiness and structural oppression. As a co-parenting Black mama and marriage and family therapist (MFT), it is important for me to serve Black families of all kinds in order to help them cultivate deeper love, safety, and healing.

My Background and Approach

Some of my clinical interests include: adolescent mental health, co-parenting, parent readiness for those desiring to become a parent, teen pregnancy/parenting, spirituality, empowering Black women and femmes in romantic partnerships and lives post-breakup, and intergenerational cultural dissonance within Afro-Caribbean immigrant families. With a gentle and warm presence, it is my goal as a therapist to have my clients feel seen, heard, and affirmed as they work towards self-improvement and healthier relationships. My approach is informed by a narrative therapy, mindfulness, anti-oppression, healing justice, and LGBTQIA+ affirming framework.
