Introduction

I am a Black nonbinary, neuroqueer licensed clinical social worker that acknowledges how systems of oppression and experiences of trauma impact mental health and personal relationships. I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and compassionate understanding to our sessions. My practice is deeply committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space that honors each person's unique journey and lived experiences. I combine clinical expertise with compassionate understanding to help you explore, grow, and transform. Ready to take the first step? Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit and begin your path to healing.
