Our current mental health framework pathologizes individuals to distract us from glaring systemic injustice.I believe each of us possess inherent strengths and gifts and aim to explore those deeply with you in a space where you feel safe and accepted for exactly who you are.  

I have experience inside an inpatient Psychiatric hospital setting, multiple Wayne County Community Mental Health settings, as a re-entry case manager assisting folks transitioning from prison back into their communities, as a medical advocate inside Wayne County Jails, and as a Clinician within a Detroit homeless shelter. I believe strongly in collective healing, ancestral healing, creative and community work as keys to striving for balance and wellness.  I believe that we chose to be here at this exact moment in history, and feel a deep commitment and responsibility to organize towards building more compassionate systems of care.
