About My Clients

The people who find their way to my practice are often tired of carrying invisible burdens. You've spent years masking, over functioning, explaining your humanity, or adapting yourself to relationships, workplaces, families, and systems that never truly saw you. You're looking for a therapist who can hold complexity without reducing you to a diagnosis or a checklist, someone who sees the whole of you, not just how you're responding to whats hurting.

My Background and Approach

I am a Black, queer, AuDHD clinician with EMDR training whose work is relational, intuitive, and rooted in real life. I pay close attention to emotional patterns, nervous system responses, attachment, identity, and the quiet ways we disconnect from ourselves to survive. I do not isolate symptoms or treat clients like problems to be fixed. I help people understand what shaped them, name what is happening beneath the surface, and move with greater clarity and alignment. My approach blends clinical depth with holistic and spiritual frameworks, including tarot, Human Design, astrology, and lunar cycles as tools for self understanding. I communicate directly, with warmth and care, and I gently name patterns, defenses, and incongruences when they appear. I work best with people who are willing to participate honestly, practice accountability, and build relationships that feel safer, more sustainable, and more aligned, beginning with themselves.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everything starts with love. Healing becomes possible when people are met with honesty, emotional safety, and care that does not require self abandonment. I became the therapist agencies kept telling me did not exist when I was searching for my own. As a queer, Black, autistic, ADHD woman, I understand being misread, minimized, pathologized, and expected to translate your humanity before receiving care. I bring my full self into the room so marginalized clients do not have to explain systemic harm or defend their experience. I am direct because clarity is care. I am warm because people deserve tenderness. Therapy requires mutual respect, accountability, curiosity, and participation. Clients may be uncertain, messy, angry, grieving, and overwhelmed, but relationship must remain safe for both of us. I will not reduce anyone to a diagnosis, spiritually bypass pain, or pretend the world is fair. I help you understand yourself and build a life that feels honest, connected, and sustainable.
