My Approach

I believe you do not exist in a vacuum; your struggles often reflect the environment that raised you.

Together we will work to untangle what was never yours to carry, and reconnect with the parts of you that are authentic and powerful.

My approach emphasizes:

  • Boundaries: Learning that “no” is a complete sentence, and finding safety in your voice.

  • Feelings: Valuing anger, grief, jealousy, and hurt as valid parts of healing, not emotions to be silenced.

  • Acceptance: Creating space for your pain without requiring forgiveness in order to move forward.

Above all, I’ll meet you exactly as you are, honoring whatever level of readiness you bring to each session.

    • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

About My Approach to BPD

What does it mean to be a BPD Specialist?

As a Queer, Black Person and Psychodynamic Therapist, I hold space for clients to experience something different—a corrective experience with an authority figure that allows deeper healing of the Parts of self tied to survival strategies.

I am a Non-Carceral Therapist.

This means my philosophy is simple: regardless of movement in any direction, choice is the true healer in the room. And as we all are living within a system of incarceration for mental health events, CHOICE is the way through.


I also provide education on BPD.

Both how it was originally described in the DSM and, more importantly, how social, political, and family influences shape the need to rely on survival strategies that can sometimes feel unsafe.

Shame THRIVES in darkness and stigma, and it is an honor to be asked to hold the deepest of these shame stories as I get to witness folks learning to understand and hold compassion for themselves.

If this resonates with you and you'd like to work with me, please do not hesitate to reach out.

You are already good enough.
