I'm a queer nonbinary African American Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois. I received my Masters from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and have been practicing for 5 years. I help children, teens, and young adults become the best versions of themselves by supporting them with managing depression, anxiety, or exploring their identity.

I used DBT to provide support with radical acceptance, mindfulness, and wise mind
