(she/her)

I founded One Love Studio to make mental health care truly inclusive, accessible, and affirming—especially for those who have been ignored, silenced, and marginalized. Rooted in the belief that healing is a collective and creative process, One Love Studio is a space where therapy goes beyond words, embracing art, somatic healing, breathwork, ketamine assisted psychotherapy and holistic practices to support deep transformation.

As a Queer, Black, first-generation Jamaican-American, cisgendered psychotherapist, my work is deeply informed by relational-cultural, feminist, and narrative therapies, all within an embodied, trauma-informed approach. I practice from a harm reduction and social justice lens, ensuring that every client feels seen, validated, and empowered in their healing journey.

At One Love Studio, therapy serves as more than just a tool for self-expression—it’s a way to externalize oppression, challenge systemic injustices, and reclaim personal narratives. Whether through painting, movement, or storytelling, creative expression allows for healing in ways that traditional talk therapy alone cannot always reach.

With over 14 years of experience working with individuals, relationships, and families, we integrate talk therapy, art therapy, and psychedelic-assisted therapy to create a truly collaborative and multifaceted approach to mental health care. Every person’s healing process is unique, and our role is to provide the structure, guidance, and creative space to help clients reconnect with themselves and their communities.

At One Love Studio, we believe in radical healing, cultural connection, and the power of creativity to transform lives. If you’re ready to explore therapy in a way that honors all parts of you, we welcome you into our space.
