Our Story

Founder, Clinical Supervisor, Art Therapist, LCPC, ATR-P
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, IL #180.012768
(she/her)
I began One Love Studio as a way of making mental health services more inclusive and accessible for those who continually find themselves ignored, silenced, and/or marginalized.
As a Queer, Black, First-generation Jamaican- American, cis-gendered, psychotherapist, my work is strongly informed by relational-cultural, feminist, narrative theories with a embodied trauma-informed approach to provide care from a harm reduction and social justice lens. Using art therapy as a way to externalize oppression, call out injustice, and promote the healing process.
Being equally versed in talk, art, and psychedelic-assisted therapy, my approach is collaborative and multifaceted. I incorporate these methods, as appropriate, working with the client to provide a positive outlet for creative expression.
Drawing upon my 14+ years of experience working with individuals, relationships and families to address the multitude of mental health stressors and challenges anyone may face.
