It’s undeniable that life is hard. It’s filled with difficulties that we don’t always know how to navigate and that make us feel stuck. Another undeniable truth is that there’s help + support along the way, and it’s possible to feel unstuck. I view therapy as a journey helping you find healing and solutions to your struggles within yourself. My mission as a therapist is to help Black and racialized people navigate life’s challenges and uncertainties with more understanding, acceptance, flexibility, and resilience—whether you’re dealing with family, romantic relationships, work/school, friendships, or your relationship with yourself. I believe that therapy should be a non-judgmental, compassionate, trusting, and confidential space specifically for you to feel seen, heard, and truly understood, something not afforded to Black folks. My approach is culturally sensitive and consists of championing your strengths and moving you towards an increased sense of growth, meaning, and well-being. It’s truly a pleasure and privilege for me to do the work that I do, providing care to Black communities! Therapy is an avenue for healing that is deeply rewarding but won’t always be light, fun, or easy. Thank you for your courage in reaching out. I look forward to working with you.
