About My Clients
If you are struggling to find support with loved ones and need a space to decompress from the oppressive systems that keep many BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks stressed out, my practice can help. You deserve to feel your emotions and talk through thoughts that you believe can improve your life, on an individual or community level. It is hard to not be able to identity emotions you feel regarding friends, partner(s), or family and having open discussion of past experiences can be a path forward.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed mental health therapist who has been working with youth, young adults, and families for over 9 years in the Philadelphia area. My upbringing guided me to pursue a career as a Marriage and Family therapist as well as informs my approach to therapy. Through my graduate school education, I believe in a systemic and person-centered therapeutic model with an emphasis on a strengths-based framework with a social justice lens. I aim to empower all my clients to progress in their goals with consistency, not perfection, as I help to facilitate within sessions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a Black trans non-binary polyamorous person I believe Black and LBGTQIA+ populations need care as we navigate challenges in our community and the world, at large. Trans folks are beautiful inside and out and have always been a part of society in more notable and less notable ways. I believe trust, transparency, community, and consistency are values that we can build upon and find strength with. These are not easy values to uphold and they are worthwhile to sustain ourselves. I believe everyone has a voice and must use that voice to uplift others, especially those with less power and privilege than you. I will not stand for discrimination or disrespect towards any marginalized or racialized populations and will call folks in to offer insight, when warranted. Lastly, I believe the people hold the power and not the government or the ruling class and look forward to a different system with the people at the forefront making beneficial choices for community.
