You’ve mastered the art of holding it all together, but inside, you’re running on empty. You’re the dependable one, the emotional anchor, the one everyone turns to. On the outside, you look capable and composed. On the inside, you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning how long you can keep this up. Here, you don’t have to be “the strong one.” This is your space to exhale, be fully seen, and begin healing in a way that feels steady and sustainable. I specialize in helping high-functioning women step out of burnout, perfectionism, and survival mode.

I help women, adolescents, and adults who grew up carrying too much—navigating attachment wounds, childhood trauma, parent–child conflict, and stress in the body (tension, asthma flare-ups, shutdown, panic attacks). I also support teen parents, adults who were teen parents, those shaped by chaotic or addiction-impacted homes, and women issues including maternal mental health. Clients want relief, understanding, and support as they break generational patterns, feel safer in their bodies, and build healthier, more connected lives.

Waitlist for new clients
I identify as a Togolese immigrant, daughter, sister, fur-mom, and wife in an interracial marriage. These identities influence how I show up as a therapist and constantly evolve each day. The challenges I have faced have given me both the insight and desire to work with individuals, couples, and families through their hurdles and to help them find what is and isn’t their story. I believe in the idea of assisting individuals, couples & families of different backgrounds to find their path instead of feeling stuck and tied down to societal expectations or their past maladaptive patterns.

I'm suspicious of simple explanations for complicated lives. I work with thoughtful adults, couples, families, and adolescents who've often read the books, listened to the podcasts, and understand their patterns better than most people realize. If you've ever thought, "I know why I do this...so why do I keep doing it?" you're probably in the right place. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" I ask, "What makes this make sense?" Then, together, we'll untangle what's keeping you stuck so you can make choices that reflect your values instead of your fears.

You could use a vent session with someone who gets it. whether you're arguing more with your partner or constantly yelling at the kids. Do you find yourself wondering what happened to the laughter and love? Where did the relationships take a detour?

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
