I believe in you

I firmly believe that you are the expert on your experiences. Within you already is the capacity to fully heal. I see myself as your "co-explorer" on this journey.

In our work together, I'll bring curiosity, warmth, and professional expertise that includes concrete tools and strategies for you to choose from. You'll bring your hopes, concerns, and expertise about your life. Together, we'll explore your values, identify meaningful goals, and create pathways you can take to move toward the changes you seek.

What I believe

As a Black, queer, neurodivergent therapist, my work utilizes somatic, relational, psychodynamic, and Womanist approaches. The following core beliefs form the foundation of my practice, shaping how we'll work together to support your healing and growth:

• The wisdom of the body: 
  Understanding that mind and body are interconnected, we'll explore how stress and trauma manifest physically and tap into your body's natural healing wisdom.

• The power of community:
  We'll explore ways to sustain, create, and deepen reciprocal relationships that support your growth and allow you to have a sense of belonging

• The impact of past experiences on our current decisions: 
  We'll examine how past events shape your present responses, building awareness to allow you to make more conscious choices about your path forward.

• The importance of the therapeutic relationship:
  Our interactions can provide valuable insights into relational patterns that may impact your relationships and life goals. We can use our relationship to better understand certain dynamics that are likely present for you outside of the therapy space, and practice engaging in new ones.

• The impact of societal context: 
  We'll create space where you can process how societal oppressions, intergenerational trauma, and systemic barriers affect your lived experience—and how intergenerational resilience can support you moving forward.
  

If this approach resonates with you, I welcome you to reach out so we can explore working together. I offer a free 15 minute consult to help us both assess if we are a good fit.
