More About Me
Before I was a therapist, I had a career in law and entertainment. I worked in corporate law firms and a large media company for years before ultimately transitioning into mental health. My decision to become a therapist came from my desire to deepen my understanding of the human condition and cultivate a supportive space for people whose identities have been marginalized. I know what it is like to have your voice silenced and experience gaslighting on a multitude of levels, which led me to want to specialize in working with Black women.
I also enjoy talking about sex and relationships, acknowledging the complexity and intersectionality many of us experience. Therapy is a social justice matter, therapy is political, and my work reflects that. Working as a therapist has been a transformative experience for me, as I learn more about myself, the more I work with clients. Everyone has a unique story, and I’m grateful to hold space and witness yours.
My Values
Non-Judgmental
While this one may feel obvious, I’ve found it surprising to know that non-judgmental therapy isn’t always the case. For me, non-judgmental means that whatever you’re coming in with, whether it be a fetish, struggling with motherhood, past trauma, resentment, and more. I make space for it. This also means that I am authentic in the room. I’m candid, I use humor, and bring my genuine self into the therapeutic relationship. Therapy doesn’t always have to be super serious, so I welcome you to show up as you.
Sex Positive
I’ve always had a passion for connecting with people. Sex and sexuality are often relegated to the shadows of society. I’ve found that as a result, people feel lonely, ashamed, and isolated. Sex positivity means that all of your consensual kinks, relationship styles, and identities will be affirmed and supported. Sometimes, you need a space to have the most precious and protected parts of you validated. I intend to provide that space.
