Accepting Clients

Hello, I am a queer black woman in a larger body who understands that existing in a society that has marginalized you can be a trauma.

Licensed Master of Social Work in , MI

About My Clients

My specialties include trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, depression, and anxiety. I am also passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC, Women’s issues, and those who struggle with body image. As a queer black woman in a larger body I understand that simply existing in a society that has marginalized you can be a trauma in and of itself. I’m here to guide you on your journey to healing.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is a combination of relaxed and structured. We will create a treatment plan based on your goals which will guide our sessions. During each session we will work towards your goals while leaving flexibility to discuss current issues. I also provide my clients with tasks between sessions to build on the skills introduced in session. I know how scary the first steps can be towards addressing your mental health. Even if you choose not to work with me I want you to know I’m proud of you for getting this far. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions, and congratulations on taking an important step towards healing!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am passionate about working with queer, black, and larger bodied folk. I know first had how damaging daily microaggressions can be on mental and physicals health. I also, know that marginalized communities experience traumatic events at a much higher rate. I am committed to providing high quality trauma informed therapy specifically for marginalized communities.
