About Me

I am a queer, southern woman, and a reformed church girl. I was raised with the values that shape so much of the South: faith, family, and tradition. For a long time, I lived by those expectations. I overworked myself and suppressed my needs and desires hoping for validation that simply never came. At some point I was overwhelmed and so filled with dread that I decided to live my life the way that I wanted to–that I would no longer let others dictate who I would become. 

My Approach

I am a licensed clinical social worker committed to creating spaces where Black queer women can, feel seen, heal, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that had to be hidden for the sake of survival. 

In our work together, we begin by exploring and attuning to the nervous system. Through our exploration, we learn the patterns that formed after years of being stuck in survival. These patterns–created in childhood or otherwise–shape who we become and how we show up in the world. My approach blends Brainspotting, polyvagal-informed therapy, emotion-focused, somatic, and mindfulness-based practices to support deep nervous-system healing and self-trust.

My Specialties

I specialize in working with people who are:

- Navigating identity shifts and coming home to themselves

- Grieving familial rejection and unmet expectations

- Wrestling with the weight of anxiety and perfectionism

- Tired of always being the one to hold everything together

A Note

Choosing to embrace yourself can feel daunting, especially when the world hasn’t made space for you or your truth. My work centers emotional safety, attunement, and a return to your own grounded wisdom. My hope is that after our sessions, you leave feeling just a little more free, more centered, and more affirmed in the truth that you are already good, just as you are. If you’re ready to reconnect with who you are and live life on your terms, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
