I work with neurodivergent clients because I deeply respect the diverse ways people think, feel, and navigate the world. Many individuals with ADHD and other neurodivergent experiences—especially those also managing trauma or substance use—have been misunderstood, mislabeled, or asked to fit into systems that don’t meet their needs.I believe therapy should be affirming, practical, and adapted to you. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while we build skills for regulation, coping, and stability in ways that align with how your brain works—not against it.Together, we focus on reducing shame, strengthening self-awareness, and developing strategies that support long-term healing and sustainable change.

I approach therapy from the belief that every person already holds strengths, resilience, and wisdom within them. As a Black, queer woman with lived experience, I understand how identity, systemic barriers, and personal challenges can shape how we move through the world—and how often those experiences are misunderstood or minimized in traditional spaces. I create an affirming space where you can feel seen, respected, and safe to show up fully. I honor the impact of culture, race, neurodivergence, trauma, and systemic inequities without pathologizing them. I intentionally reflect back the strengths you may not always recognize in yourself—whether that’s survival, adaptability, insight, or the courage to seek help.  Many people carry shame tied to substance use, trauma, or feeling “different.” I work to reframe those experiences as adaptive responses, helping clients move toward self-compassion. I work to see you as the expert of your own life. Together, we build goals and strategies that align with your values, needs, and the way you uniquely think and function.And my lived experience allows me to show up with authenticity, empathy, and cultural humility, fostering a genuine therapeutic relationship grounded in trust.
