About My Clients
I have a special interest in working with QTBIPoC individuals who are looking to explore their intersectionality, as well as any queer folks looking to gain insight into dominant group identities in service of stronger allyship. I also feel uniquely positioned to work with partners navigating mixed-identity relationships and/or non-traditional relationship structures, neurodivergent folks coping under capitalism and children of immigrants breaking generational curses.
My Background and Approach
I grew up in Mississippi and moved to NYC ten years ago to seek my Bachelor’s in Psych and Journalism at New York University - a challenging transition that heavily influenced my sense of self and passion for affirmative mental health care for folks at the axes of oppression. I returned to NYU for my Master’s in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness and am currently training in Somatic Experiencing for trauma healing. I firmly believe in meeting in the therapeutic space as equals, and honoring you as the expert of your own experience. I strive to foster a warm, honest and trauma-informed environment for us to journey through your multitudes. Grounded in feminist, multicultural and queer theories, I use an integrative person-centered, mindfulness, somatics and acceptance-based approach to help you name your strengths and embody the person you want to be, working with intention towards the values you want to live by.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
It's important for me to bring my held identities and core values of connection, curiosity, gratitude and grace into the therapeutic spaces I share. As an intuitive therapist with a commitment to decolonizing mental health practices, I invite any and all forces that shape and move your spirit into the room with us - especially those that stem from ancestral wisdom. I personally practice a blend of Sufi mysticism informed by my culture of origin and Buddhist philosophy that prioritizes interconnectedness and relational growth over individualism, especially when applied to behavioral change. While I will never impress my own beliefs upon you, I find it important to name the framework I conceptualize from.
