Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in survival mode. On the outside, they appear capable and accomplished. On the inside, they are carrying trauma, grief, identity stress, and the invisible weight of being “the strong one.” I specialize in working with Black women and other high-functioning helpers who are navigating trauma, life transitions, cultural stress, and complex family dynamics. Many are professionals, caretakers, or first-generation achievers who look successful on the outside but feel unseen, pressured, or stretched thin inside.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), I provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy rooted in relational and strengths-based approaches. I don’t need an orientation on microaggressions, code-switching, or cultural expectations before we begin the work.
In our space, we unpack survival patterns, heal past wounds, and explore how intersecting identities shape your mental health and relationships. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in compassion and accountability. If you’re ready for more than survival, schedule a free consult. You don’t have to carry this alone anymore!

I help clients navigate racial identity stress, trauma, PTSD, and grief that feels heavy or unresolved. Treatment may involve processing painful experiences, exploring how culture and family shape your story, and developing healthier coping patterns. Clients often experience greater clarity, emotional relief, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self-trust.
