You don't feel like doing the dishes, you're not in the mood to cook, or be around people, & you have a million things on your mind! As a BIWOC, you have learned to carry so much without asking for help or expecting it. On the outside, you look like you got it together. But inside? Anxiety keeps creeping in. You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and quietly asking yourself, “How much longer can I keep doing this? Maybe you’re moving through a big life transition — a shift in career, relationships, or motherhood — and while you love the people in your life, you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
Imagine feeling lighter, calmer, and more confident in yourself. Anxiety no longer runs your life. You trust your decisions, move through life transitions with clarity, set boundaries with ease, and finally shift from surviving to truly thriving.
Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me at 704-226-4620 and let's chat about what's going on. No pressure just simple conversation. Im looking forward to hearing from you!

I help with trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, depression, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. A typical treatment plan involves exploring root issues, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and building practical tools for emotional well-being.
