Racial & Ethnic Minorities

Racial and ethnic minorities move through life balancing disparate experiences of joy, pride, and richness of culture alongside systemic racism, microaggressions, and disparities within healthcare and the justice system. From code switching at work, to advocating for your child at school, to demanding to be seen and taken seriously at the doctor’s office, People of Color are used to (and often exhausted by) fighting for space, recognition, and peace. As a Black psychotherapist, I have both professional and personal experience in navigating these sorts of challenges and in devising real-world strategies to find pleasure, prioritize rest, and engage in resistance— to whatever degree desired.

Lesbian, Gay, Queer, Trans, Gender Nonconforming and Expansive individuals often face daily stress and pressure related to their identities. Whether on a larger scale— social discrimination or political attack— or closer to home— family or faith community exclusion, stressors related to identity can be an added burden to an already complicated life. You may notice that you feel pressured to change yourself certain spaces or that you expend inordinate amounts of energy to survive in others. Having a therapist who can relate to this lived experience— not just in clinical practice, but in personal identity— can make it easier to open up about all areas of your life.

Mature/Older Adults

While I am not an older adult (yet!), I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of spending the first half of my career working primarily with mature adults. I have spent countless hours supporting folks as they transition to a new era in their lives— an era that can involve self-discovery, retirement, redefinition of purpose, changes in relationships with adult children, unexpected adventure, diagnosis or progression of chronic or acute illness, and loss. I am glad to continue supporting mature adults as they face continued evolution of self.

Neurodivergent (neuroexceptional) folks face a society that expects— and often prioritizes— neurotypical ways of being and thinking. Whether you have ADHD, ASD (autism), OCD, sensory processing disorder, dyslexia, dysgraphia, or another condition that impacts the way you operate on a day-to-day basis, you will find that my practice encourages you to show up as as you are— unmasked, unfiltered. Once again, both my training and my lived experiences inform my practice as I support neurodiverse individuals and celebrate their unique and incredible minds and spirits.

As a former oncology social worker (both adult and pediatric), I am well-versed in supporting folks through a new cancer diagnosis, managing the demands of daily life during treatment, and adjusting to the anxiety and confusion that may unexpectedly accompany your oncologist’s declaration that you are currently cancer-free (NED, no evidence of disease). For parents of children with cancer, these different transitions can feel overwhelming, yet it can feel impossible to take time to care for yourself while being your child’s advocate. Whether you are a patient, a parent, a caregiver, or friend, I can support you in this journey.

Parenting is an adventure marked by chaos and contradiction. All at once, parenting can feel wondrous and exhausting, exciting and confusing, aggravating and inspiring. It can be a gift. It can feel like a burden. Raising a child is a transformative experience that can test the bounds of one’s patience and fortitude. When I work with parents and parenting adults, I recognize that no child is the same, nor is any journey in childrearing. With over a decade of professional experience— and 13 years of personal!— I assist parenting adults with decolonized parenting, positive discipline, co-regulation, and communicating with connection.
