As a Black queer psychotherapist, my work is rooted in the fundamental beliefs that humans are resilient and that most people have the capacity to change. My psychotherapy practice is informed by the study of Western and Black psychology, social work as well as West African and Afro-Latino spiritual traditions. That said, I work with people who have any or no religious or spiritual practices.

Why the name, “Meliora Consulting LLC”? Meliora is Latin for “always better,” and working to improve things for others is my life’s work. My goal is to enrich the lives of Indigenous LGBTQI people, and LGBTQI/same-gender-loving people of color[1]. Those who are marginalized because of their ethnoracial background, gender identity or expression, sexual identity, sexual practices, relationship configuration, ability, and/or religious or spiritual background are of specific concern to me.

[1]“People of color” includes individuals who identify as Asian Pacific Islander, Black/African American, Latina/o/x, Multiracial/Biracial, South West Asian and North African.
