For ten years, I have engaged in community health and care work as a humanitarian aid worker, a sexual assault and domestic violence counselor advocate, a birth doula, a social worker, clinician, and community mental health educator. This work has taken place in refugee camps, crisis centers, hospitals, birthworker collectives, and college campuses. My primary focus has been joining with, contributing to, creating, and or expanding projects of care that center people of color with a particular commitment to Black women and girls.

My counseling practice is shaped by and committed to healing justice, disability justice, intersectionality, and anticolonial frameworks. I’m trained in several western modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and relational life therapy (RLT). I’m learning about how relationship-building, ancestral connection, bodywork, pleasure, plants, and energy are important means by which we heal.
