About

My ideal client is someone navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or family dynamics, seeking a culturally competent, affirming space to explore how past experiences shape their present struggles. Their goals are to heal, gain self-understanding, and improve relationships. They want to feel empowered to live authentically, cope with life's challenges, and achieve a sense of peace and fulfillment. I specialize in culturally sensitive, affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ communities and BIPOC. Using psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and family systems, I help address issues like depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and career concerns. I also offer personality testing and behavioral assessments, ensuring a safe, inclusive space for all. Reaching out for help can feel daunting, but it’s a powerful step toward healing. If you’re facing challenges, know you’re not alone. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore your concerns without judgment. If you're ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out—let’s work together for the change you deserve. Specialties: I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family dynamics, and career challenges, with a particular focus on LGBTQ communities and Black and Indigenous people of color (BIPOC). I am also kink and poly-aware, ensuring an inclusive space where all experiences are respected. Additionally, I provide personality testing and behavioral assessments. Credentials & Experience: I am currently licensed in Alabama. I have over a decade of experience conducting research & teaching in graduate programs to train future psychologists and mental health professionals, & providing culturally competent psychotherapy & assessments for adolescents, adults, couples, & families.

"I offer a culturally sensitive & affirming therapy, using evidence-based practices, including psychodynamic, CBT, family systems, to address your concerns by finding relationships between present problems, past relationships, family dynamics, thought processes, and social-systemic factors. This holistic approach helps to get at the root of your problems to enact meaningful change in your life."
