Following her undergraduate studies in psychology, Lydia ventured into the start-up world at a health-tech startup and later joined a design agency with a social-impact focus. She eventually found her way back to her true passion of mental health and wellness.

Lydia’s anti-oppressive and inclusive approach welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds. She specializes in supporting those navigating difficult transition periods, those wanting to explore and embrace their various identities, and those hoping to improve their relationships. In her work with couples, she specializes in pre-baby counseling and interracial relationships. As an interracial adoptee (Black/Multiracial) raised by white parents, she possesses a unique perspective on adoption experiences and their impact on one’s sense of self and security.

Lydia’s approach integrates talk therapy, movement, energy work, visualization, meditation, and writing. Infused with humor, creativity, and curiosity, her sessions are designed to facilitate profound self-discovery and acceptance. She believes that the full spectrum of human emotions is what makes us truly human, and her mission is to equip her clients with the tools to navigate and manage these emotions effectively, leading to a life of greater ease.
