Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your true self? You might be going through a significant life transition, dealing with anxiety or depression, or struggling with self-worth in a world that often ignores your needs. Women of color, especially Black women, often bear the weight of unspoken expectations, past traumas, and cultural burdens that affect their mental and emotional well-being. You deserve a space where you can be seen, heard, and supported on your own terms.
I support women who are ready to release fear, obligation, and guilt (F.O.G.) and embrace their authentic selves. I specialize in trauma recovery, life transitions, and healing relational wounds while boosting confidence and emotional well-being. I also help women navigate racial and gender-related stressors.
You don’t have to continue struggling alone or doubting your worth. My approach is holistic, compassionate, and culturally sensitive. Together, we’ll develop a strategy that supports your healing, growth, and reclaiming of your peace. Let’s take the first step toward the life you deserve.
