Therapists » Pre-Licensed Professional
My therapeutic orientation is grounded in principles from Liberation psychology, Black/African-centered psychology, mad pride, and disability justice. I work with clients to explore their lived experiences and emotions in the context of intersecting systems of power, privilege, and oppression. I also collaborate with clients in exploring alternative models of understanding psychiatric disabilities outside of pathologization and the medical model of health and wellness. I aim to co-create a therapeutic space that prioritizes transparency, agency, authenticity, understanding, and connection. I walk alongside clients in navigating trauma and complex PTSD, mood and anxiety-based concerns, identity development (racial, gender, sexuality, disability), grief and loss, interpersonal and relationship-based issues, major life transitions and stressors, and experiences of oppression (institutional, internalized, interpersonal, ideological). I enjoy working with multiply marginalized clients, especially those at the intersection of the Black/African diaspora, queer/trans, and disabled/neurodivergent communities. I am a Black/biracial, disabled, queer, genderfluid person, and am committed to interrupting carceral, pathologizing, queer-/transphobic, and racist practices in psychological spaces.
