I am a first generation Jamaican American non-binary mental health counselor. My practice prioritizes the healing and collective liberation of LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and those with intersectionalities. I integrate the healing justice framework into how I listen to and treat others -- facilitating the (re)discovery of pathways to individual and collective wellbeing. My practice centers systemic oppression in determining how trauma is born, persists and is passed down generationally. My work's greatest intention is to reclaim wellness for queer, Black, Brown and Indigenous folks and to harness collective wisdom and strengths so that joy, peace, ease and liberation are how we resist and thrive.

I refuse to be put into any role that I don’t wholeheartedly want to be in, or to search for myself in a blueprint that builds and upholds whiteness and the patriarchy.

The problem is the constant fight of being included in and given access to, mental health and wellness education and resources. The problem is that LGBTQ and people of colors’ experiences and identities are not woven into the health and wellness fabric, making it much harder to ask for help, find help, find community and prioritize our own wellbeing.

I am committed to developing spaces where folks like me feel safe, empowered and free to be themselves. I imagine a safe, equitable and inclusive system where mental health and wellbeing are at the core of our livelihood.
