🎓 M.A. Marriage and Family Therapy, Saint Mary’s University

I am a Rwandese American who has navigated and still navigates immigration and the multiple identities within systems that were built to suppress BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities alike. I believe in the power of story-telling and that the stories we tell ourselves & others shape our lives. Sometimes, these stories provide us great strength, healing, or understanding about the world around us; sometimes, we reach a point where these stories no longer support us so we may need to start a new chapter or re-write the narrative. In therapy, I wish to collaborate in a safe and affirming space the re-writing of stories that no longer serves you, to expand what is possible, and to dive into areas of your stories that bring you joy or challenge.

My therapy style is centered in mainly narrative therapy but I am interested in utilizing other modalities that support your journey (i.e IFS, solutions-focused, etc). I am passionate about working in areas of navigating trauma, exploring gender and sexuality, intimacy; and adjusting to life transitions. I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents, family therapy, and couple therapy for any relationship configuration (polyamorous, open, monogamous, etc.)

My hobbies are ever changing but currently include biking, coloring and reading manga. I received a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of St. Mary’s. I am working under the supervision of Leisha Suggs, LMFT.
