My therapeutic journey with you prioritizes increasing connection to your body and providing tools to support yourself when you face life’s stressors. Maybe you are struggling with communicating your feelings, prioritizing yourself as much as you do with others, or feeling stuck in patterns you can identify, but need support taking action on. Whether you are experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, boundary setting, and/or trauma, I am there every step of the way providing a space where your entire self is heard, validated, and celebrated as we work on your goals.
Often, we don't realize that we already have the tools we need to heal within us. As we work together, my focus is supporting you in uncovering those tools. My approach combines Emotion-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and elements of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to rebuild the trust and connection with yourself and others.
As a Queer Black woman, my passion is working with my communities as a guide, so you do not have to do this hard work alone. The space we co-create will acknowledge the nuances of your lived experiences and use them to challenge expectations that no longer fit the life you want to live. If you are ready to begin this journey, feel free to reach out to me.
