Healing should feel like liberation, not just survival. I help Black women and other oppressed communities find liberation - reclaim their voices, release the weight of racial, cultural, gender-based, and generational trauma, and step fully into their power.
I specialize in working with teenagers and adults navigating racial trauma, religious trauma, identity struggles, depression, anxiety, parenting & caregiver stress, and burnout. My philosophy is simple: Evolve or Repeat. In therapy, we work together so you can evolve into your healthiest, truest self—without repeating cycles that no longer serve you.
I create a safe, affirming, and culturally grounded space where your whole self is welcomed—your story, your culture, your strength, and your pain. I blend evidence-based practices like ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR with a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens.
If you’ve been carrying the weight of stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, or depression in silence—it’s time to lay it down. Let’s create a healing space designed to get you rooted & restored..
