Therapist

I am a Queer, Black Woman who has over 38 years of experience working in mental health field and healing. I began my career in 1986 as a Registered Music Therapist then transitioned to working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2002. I have worked with a wide range of clients from preschool-aged children to elders in multiple settings. Whereas I love working with people of various identities, I specialize in helping Black Womxn (cis, nonbinary, trans) and LGBTQ+ folx recover from trauma. I absolutely love helping folx move past barriers so that they can live fulfilling lives. I am deeply honored to support the beauty that is within each person. My work is strengths-based and collaborative. Using EMDR, expressive arts therapies (e.g., music, art, writing), play therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, self-love, and community-care practices, I provide opportunities for people to see themselves as so much more than what has happened to them. Instead of living the smaller lives that trauma imposes, people with whom I work can create lives that are expansive, grounded and rooted in true values.
