Therapy

What... do I do?

While I am specifically trained in several therapeutic modalities, I focus on meeting people’s needs, rather than only sticking to a particular modality. I am also a tarot/oracle & bone reader, level 2 reiki practitioner, rootworker, & ordained priest of Obatalá. All these skills & perspectives are present with me and available in my work. I especially love helping folx find connections between therapy, care work, & their ancestral healing practices.

As of Fall 2026, my individual therapy offerings are:

• ADHD/Autism/AuDHD assessments 

• Timebound (up to 4 months/16 sessions) & specifically oriented towards helping people create & implement tangible changes that accommodate and support their needs. Examples include: sensory care plans; building support networks for your academic, health, or broader community wellbeing; pursuing accommodations at work and/or school, etc.

Do I provide letters? YES!*

And not by way of gatekeeping, either. I understand that for many folx, a letter is, in itself, the one thing keeping them from being great. So let's be great! 

• Gender Affirming Care

  • These I can do in 1-2 appointments. I write these letters collaboratively, so anything over 1 appointment is just about how much time YOU want/need to take.

• ESAs & SDs (emotional support animals & service dogs)

  • These involve a thorough assessment of your needs, existing coping skills, capacity as a prospective handler, and other considerations. For that reason, I don't provide these after just 1-2 appointments. There's a whole 'nother life involved, so let's make sure we are careful and intentional with the process. 

    • NOTE: I am not qualified to name or choose any specific animal for you and I will not try to. However, we will discuss general appropriateness of different types of animals, training options, and the like. 

• Disability Accommodations (where accepted – some entities require documentation from a medical professional, such as a doctor or nurse practitioner)

* "Letter" includes forms designated by the requesting party. 

This Is How I Do: 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my focus is on understanding the environmental and contextual factors at play in your life. I come to therapy with a trauma-informed/healing-centered, harm reductionist perspective and work collaboratively with you on determining what kinds of interventions are best suited for your needs. At the root, I aim to help you find ways to support your existence through sensory, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual means.  

My approach is laid back, relational, and can be viewed as “coachy,” meaning I ask questions and provide feedback to help you figure out solutions that will work for your life. I also encourage you to bring your creative and spiritual practices to therapy, so if you want to include art, tarot, crystals, ancestor reverence, etc., we can do that! Most importantly, I encourage you to be as comfortable as possible during session. This means you are welcome to eat, nurse, lay down, have your furbabies, stretch... whatever you need. My only stipulations are that you ensure privacy for session and that you remain reasonably clothed (more than underwear, please), sober (able to engage consensually), and within the bounds of the law (this last one's just to protect me from potentially having to engage with any state actors).

Who I do it with

Again, this offering exists to intentionally create healing space for (QT)BIPOC – (Queer & Trans) Black, Indigenous, & People of Color. While folx with other identities are not outright excluded, I do not hold space for people still learning How Not to Be a Bigot. 

Specific populations include:

• Adults of all ages (but especially Transition Age Youth: ages 18-24)

• Perfectionists/high achievers

• People who are adjusting to or seeking diagnoses of autism and/or ADHD as adults

• Sex Workers

• Disabled folx, crips, spoonies

• Folx working through ARFID, Binge Eating Disorder, or other disordered eating challenges. 

  • I am also able to assess for all eating disorders and will refer out to appropriate providers for treatment.
