Navigating the journey of life can be challenging. If you find yourself feeling lost, confused, sad, worried, or dissatisfied with certain aspects of your life, you've come to the right place. As a therapist, my role is to guide you in discovering the tools necessary to improve your life and relationships. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where we can explore both hardships and joys together.

My strengths-based approach draws from evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, trauma-informed mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. My practice is also influenced by queer theory, Black feminism, disability justice, and radical acceptance. Overall, my priority is the therapeutic bond that we will cultivate together. Only you know what path is right for your life, and I look forward to supporting you as we navigate the road together.

I work with adults, teens, partners, and families. Some topics I enjoy working with include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ concerns (including gender, sexuality, ethical non-monogamy, and polyamory), kink and BDSM, religious struggles, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American Studies with minors in Psychology and African Studies from Dartmouth College. Prior to entering the field of therapy, I worked as a teacher and wedding cake decorator in New Orleans, LA. In 2023, I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan (UM). While at UM, I worked as a student therapist as well as ran workshops related to queer sex education and Minority Stress Theory. Outside of work, I enjoy meditating, baking hamantaschen, watching movies, and spending time with my friends, family, and cat.

If you think we might be a good fit for therapy, please feel free to reach out!
