Racial Identity Therapists in Sacramento, CA
I have worked with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and low self-esteem and body concerns; adults dealing with race-based stress, racial identity formation, and other culturally sensitive concerns.
I am motivated to work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief; feelings of being overwhelmed, sadness, frustration and loneliness. I work with clients who just feel stuck. I meet my clients where they are to collaborate on their wellness needs to meet their goals. I believe that we all have the capacity to become the best versions of ourselves within our families, relationships and community.

Facing emotionally painful situations takes a fair amount of bravery. I can walk with you through those challenges, offering support and at times being a source of strength. Avoiding grief, fears, any type of conflict and/or suppressing anger may lead to increased anxiety and depression. Learning how to face these things with the use of some good coping skills can be very empowering. We all have the ability to learn how to deal with our emotions and work through conflict. It just takes practice and maybe some guidance. This is where I can help.

I/My practice is grounded in the belief that we all have a deep desire and fundamental need to connect—with ourselves and with others. My practice melds my lived experience as a southern-raised, first-gen queer Trinibagonian-Jamaican, womxn with an evidence-based approach that's warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental, humorous and directive. With a culturally attuned, trauma/somatic/relational focus, we’ll explore barriers to authentic living and connecting deeply with yourself, your partner(s), the world. We’ll collaboratively curate a transformative healing process that allows you to experience: connection—healing—liberation.

I use my personal, educational, and professional experiences and strong attunement to my intuition to guide my therapy style. My clients describe me as caring, personable, gentle, and real. My sessions are collaborative, empowerment-based, and include moments of humor. Due to my value of cultural humility, I use holistic (mind-body-spirit-soul), trauma-informed, and social justice approaches to establish a soulful connection and unique healing experience for each person I support. Working with diverse populations and mental health settings (i.e. college, inpatient, healthcare, etc.) also allows me to be adaptable to each client.

Are you struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues? Do you feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate life's challenges? Worried that family or friends won't understand or - even worse - invalidate you? Living with these struggles can be incredibly isolating and debilitating. The constant burden of mental health issues can impact your relationships, productivity, and overall quality of life. It's easy to feel stuck and hopeless when you don't have the right tools or support to manage these challenges effectively.

I enjoy helping people to find passion, self-growth, hope and the answers to what they need in their life. I believe we all have the ability to do this within us, sometimes we just need some support and accountability. I like to impact people by meeting them where they are with compassion and empathy, while also being solutions-focused to help them identify and achieve their goals. I am an attachment-based therapist, and I utilize EFT and Gottman approaches. I also use CBT techniques and incorporate mindfulness. I enjoy working with people of color, interracial couples and Christian couples.

I am also consistently expanding my therapy skills to provide the most relevant tools to support my clients. From a theoretical perspective, I primarily utilize a combination of cognitive, relational, and psychodynamic approaches. I am depth-oriented and am always seeking to explore the deeper layers of any experience.

My therapy is strongly person centered; I embrace the idea that a solid therapeutic relationship is the backbone to change. I believe this relationship is built through empathy, humor, and respect for the idea that you are the expert in your own life, not me. My therapeutic style is eclectic; I tailor treatments to your needs to find an approach that feels right to you. What this means is that therapy will look different for different clients; sometimes you might need a supportive listener, sometimes you might need concrete exercises to build new skills. As a therapist, I believe it is my job to pivot according to your needs.
