About me
In my free time I am typically crocheting, reading science fiction or listening to true crime documentaries. I enjoy attempting to make vegan pastries, riding my bike and generally being in nature.
I'm originally from New York City and I have lived in a few different metropolitan cities across the world. I aim to create a safer, inclusive and non judgemental space for my clients, so that they are able to feel secure enough to process Trauma and begin the process of self exploration and discovery.

Approach
I am a first generation American who is also Black, Queer and Agender and these intersections are the lens through which I view my work. My approach is intersectional and informed by Queer theory, Feminism, sex and body positivity movements and is sex worker friendly.
My approach is uniquely informed by my education, clinical work and my personal experiences. My training was in Psychodynamic Counselling which means that there is a focus on how early childhood experiences and relationships to caregivers may have unconsciously affected how we think, feel about ourselves and relate to others.
I have recently completed a foundational training in EMDR and am excited to incorporate this into my practice. I find it's important to continue to expand my knowledge and learn evidence based approaches to healing from trauma.
For me a significant part of therapeutic work is the relationship between Therapist and Client. This is why I attempt to build trust and provide a safer space for my clients to feel heard and understood. I do this through empathic listening, reflection and validation of the client's feelings. I see these as powerful tools in the process of healing; tools that will empower a client to explore unconscious thought patterns, beliefs, behaviors and emotions. I understand that clients' experiences in life are distinctive and require individual care. I do not believe that there is a ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to Counselling which is why I enjoy integrating aspects of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques as well as other approaches into my clinical work according to the needs of the client. I am also a yoga teacher and bring aspects of yogic philosophy and yoga practices into my work around mental health outside the therapy room.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to join you on your journey towards better mental health and overall wellness. I work in English and primarily 1-1.
