Hello, I identify as a Black American queer person. I graduated from JFK University, Masters of Counseling Psychology, 2011 and have been licensed as a LMFT # 111651 since 2019. I am EMDR trained and working towards complete certification from an EMDRIA approved site. I have Level 1 Somatic Experiencing training, 2023
I work with adults who often struggle with long periods of depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, codependency, low self esteem and perfectionism. I also work with neurodivergent adults, CPTSD and those with chronic pain. What I have taken from these learnings is a nervous system-based guide on how to pace, working with various parts of the self and teaching how to feel again.
I work within the frameworks of internal family systems (IFS), EMDR and and models based on attachment. I draw from CBT and DBT. I do not claim nor pretend that I have all the solutions or answers, but what I do know is the deep power of witnessing my clients’ experiences and co-creating the feeling of ‘safe-enoughness’ we all need to be able to process and heal our deepest discomforts. What I have is a genuine interest in understanding you, so I can work with you to find solutions.
