We Say Asé
A relational, trauma-informed therapy space where creativity and embodiment guide healing through art, somatic awareness, and honest conversation.
Using art and body-based practices to explore and discover ourselves, both present and new.
We believe that healing happens in relationships—between body and mind, between people, and between who we’ve been and who we’re becoming.
My work calls in both the knowing of the body and the complexity of lived experience, especially if you’ve ever felt the need to shrink, over-explain, or silence parts of yourself to be palatable—or if you often find yourself reacting to others instead of staying connected to your own experience.
Healing happens in relationship with self and others.
WE BELIEVE
The capacity to build awareness and create new strategies grows within relationships.
As a Black queer binge-reader of sci-fi and fantasy (and a meta-thinker + meta-feeler), my passion emerged from the deep resonance I felt reading Octavia Butler, Audre Lorde, and bell hooks. Their persistence in creating, expressing, and being witnessed became a form of asé, the ability to make change, in how I move through the world as a Black woman and facilitator.
OUR OFFERINGS

OUR OFFERINGS 〰
INDIVIDUAL & FAMILY THERAPY
Therapy with me is a space where you get to be fully yourself — no performing, no overexplaining, no pretending you’re “fine.”
It’s not about fixing or reshaping who you are. It’s about gently reconnecting you with your own voice, your body, your creativity, and the needs and desires you’ve had to quiet for far too long.
RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
Relationship therapy is for any dyad committed to intentional relating—romantic or platonic, monogamous or ethically non-monogamous, creative partners, co-founders, best friends, roommates, and anyone navigating life together.
Whether you’re rebuilding connection, improving communication, or navigating conflict, this space supports real, sustainable change.
Workshop Facilitation
I specialize in guiding groups through art-based and movement-based practices, no artistic skill required, to support recalibration, reflection, and collaboration.
My workshops are rooted in mental health literacy, emotional fluency, conflict navigation, leadership development, and trauma-informed relational practices.
A Word from Audre Lorde
“We have to consciously study how to be tender with each other until it becomes a habit because what was native has been stolen from us… But we can practice being gentle with ourselves by being gentle with each other. We can practice being gentle with each other by being gentle with that piece of ourselves that is hardest to hold.”
