How do we protect your privacy?

We will not inquire about immigration status unless you initiate the conversation. We do not maintain records about immigration status unless related to immigration evaluations. Your privacy is our commitment. We will not disclose your information to anyone without your consent except for very limited emergent reasons. Your safety and comfort come first. If standard HIPAA protections don't feel like enough, we can build extra privacy steps together so therapy stays a safe space for you.

About Me

Hi, I’m Jade (she/her), a therapist who works with people who are BIPOC and/or 2SLGBTQIA+. I come from a proud Afro-Caribbean background, and am privileged to call Jamaica my home. In my free time, I’m a home chef who sometimes knits, camps, plays video games for too long in one sitting, and is deeply fascinated with the science of fermentation. I also have two cats named Charlie and Wilson (yes I like the Gap Band) who like to make appearances on camera.

This is a space where you can show up as yourself and feel no need to mask any parts, perform weird professionalism acrobatics, or bend to respectability politics. My work centers on rebuilding self-trust, reclaiming personal agency, and creating space for greater joy, connection, safety, and freedom. I am here to affirm and challenge all parts of you, through compassion, resistance, and community.

I work with people that systems have treated as “too much,” including immigrants and first-generation Americans, current and former sex workers, survivors of sexual trauma, trafficking, and intimate partner violence, people impacted by incarceration, and people navigating substance use without judgment.

Sessions blend ACT, DBT, and solution-focused work with play and art, because adults deserve to play too. That might mean crafting together or a round of Baldur’s Gate 3, Mahjong, or Minecraft. For couples, monogamous and ethically non-monogamous, I center play, earnest conversation, and nonviolent communication.

Clinical Supervision

I provide clinical supervision in Colorado, drawing on four years of experience across community mental health, private practice, and crisis services. I can support you with harm reduction care for clients using a range of substances, navigating involuntary holds and case management, and working with severe and persistent mental illness across all levels of functioning, including chronic suicidal ideation.

Peer Consultation

I also offer peer consultation for fellow clinicians. Whether you’re weighing a risk assessment, working through a stuck case, or want a second set of eyes on a client with complex needs from a harm reduction standpoint, I would love to collaborate with you.
