Human. Present. With you.

I was raised in Houston, TX by immigrants from East Africa. As a black therapist and child of immigrants, I recognize how important it is to find a therapist who understands non-Western cultures and approaches to therapy.

Before becoming a therapist, I served as a minister in faith-based settings for about five years. I enjoyed the work of supporting folks from all ages and backgrounds, but struggled with seeing many people (and at times, myself) experience significant pain and shame that led to emotional, psychological and spiritual wounds. I bring this experience with me into the therapy room.

Through my work as a therapist, I'm especially equipped to work with clients seeking support for childhood trauma, emotional/physical abuse, and religious harm. I am also skilled in treating clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, first and second generation cultural issues, relationship issues, grief.

Through the use of IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy), and EMDR, I help clients foster healthy relationships, improve self-confidence, and live a life that aligns with their values.

I aim to create a space where my clients feel safe to show up as their most authentic selves. I have found that the relationship between clients and therapists works best when built on genuine acceptance, mutual trust, and compassionate accountability. I believe that everyone deserves access to healing spaces—including those who have been marginalized due to their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or any other aspect of their identity.

When I am not providing therapy, you can usually find me exploring new Austin restaurants, enjoying live music, or watching soccer- all while drinking coffee.
