About

I am not just a counselor, but also a peer. I am a black person of color counselor who is also non-binary trans-masc, and have struggled with ADHD, anxiety, and depressive symptoms throughout my life. I am Kink aware and Poly Affirming, and specialize in working with LGBTQA+ issues. My goal is that my personal and professional experience will allow me to be a positive support for my clients.

Therapy is a joint process that cannot be done without your effort. I cannot "fix" you because you do not need "fixing," I am here to listen and help you learn and grow so you can have the tools you need to meet your long and short-term life goals. My primary focus is centered around the LGBTQ+ community, but I also enjoy working with women's issues, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, and substance use disorders.

I have a client centered approach and utilize a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness techniques to help adult clients who are looking for a change in their life, looking to gain coping skills, or looking to go through their process of healing and/or recovery.
