Introduction

I am a Black, queer, mother, wife, friend, author, neurospicy, system questioning over thinker so I’m always daydreaming of world peace. My passion is growing despite the healthcare industrial complex, to make the magic of talk therapy accessible, and to positively impact individuals and communities. I use a combination of modalities to best fit clients unique experiences. Clients respond most to psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, and integrative therapy tools and interventions. I customise your treatment plan based on your goals and availability. Short term clients follow a system that focuses on feeling better quickly and solving a specific problem while long term follow a path of feeling better quickly, storytelling, and reconnecting with your authentic self (you before life happened to you). Whichever approach interests you it is my responsibility and passion to empower you to be the leader in your life, to be your best caretaker for yourself, to present the version of yourself you’re most proud of and release burdens that weigh you down with fear and regret.
