I am a trans-identified, Black, queer emotional wellness practicioner of peer counseling and coaching.
I focus on describing as opposed to prescribing - we will center the context of who you are, and what your personal experience of the world is in our sessions, to make sure the growth we foster is specified to your needs. We will speak to your present situation and your lived experience to help ensure that our sessions stay focused on you, and where you are today.
I highly value a client-lead approach, which means that there’s no prescribed or pre-determined way that we’ll work to achieve your goals.
I am excited to offer my clients a space that I strive to keep anti-racist, trans-inclusive, anti-abelist, sex-work inclusive, sex positive, body positive, poly-inclusive, anti-capitalist and accommodating of where you exist on the LGBTIQA+ spectrum.
