Therapist

Bio

Finding the support that you need is no easy feat, and the fact that you are here is a wonderful first step. By consistently cultivating a liberating and judgement-free space, I aim to help you explore personal challenges through an empathic and compassionate lens.

 

My therapeutic style is best described as eclectic; however, I often utilize narrative therapy to help people gain a more holistic understanding of their thought patterns and behaviors. As a Black woman who has worked extensively with others belonging to marginalized communities, I especially believe in taking an intersectional, person-centered, and strengths-based approach to better empower those impacted by oppressive societal systems. My specialties include boundary-setting, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ issues, multicultural concerns, PTSD/trauma, and self-esteem.

 

I earned my MSW with a specialization in Clinical Mental Health from Loyola University Chicago. During my time as a therapist at another mental health agency, I primarily worked with individual adults, many of whom had extensive trauma histories after surviving physical and/or emotional abuse. Additionally, I provided letters for emotional support animals, gender-affirming surgeries, and mental health leaves of absence. With an open heart and mind, I look forward to building a warm and fruitful therapeutic relationship. Let’s work together to help you flourish!
