Introduction

Thank you for your initial interest. I am Black, queer, genderfluid and hold a license in clinical social work. My life experience is vast and has been anchored by a deep curiosity and journey towards love and liberation. I've been practicing "social work" long before I took the steps to "legitimize" it through our higher educational system, completing my MSW at Columbia University School of Social Work in 2022. My practice includes both colonized and ancestral knowledge, theories and modalities with a major focus on “bottom up” approaches. I am dedicated to supporting individuals and groups in addressing psychological and emotional challenges that affect their quality of life. When I am not doing this work, I am resting, locating joy, tending to my body, and watering the many relationships that sustain me. I appreciate you taking time to read this Bio in hopes of connecting with someone who can support you on your life journey. Feel free to reach out and inquire further. V
