Many of the clients I work with struggle with anxiety, big life changes, and the pressure to stay strong while silently carrying old wounds. I’m here to help you find steadiness, self-trust, and a way forward that actually fits who you are becoming. You’re used to holding everything together, but lately anxiety has you overthinking every decision, replaying conversations, and feeling like you’re failing at “adulting” even though you’re doing the most. As a BIWOC, you’re juggling family expectations, work stress, and old trauma while quietly wondering, Who am I now? I help you slow down, make sense of your anxiety, and navigate life.
I work with BIWOC navigating anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions—career changes, relationships, motherhood, spiritual shifts, or simply outgrowing old roles. In our sessions, you don’t have to perform or educate me about what it’s like to move through the world in your skin.
Life doesn’t have to be constant overthinking and pressure to be the strong one. Therapy can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more like yourself. If this resonates, reach out to schedule a brief consult so we can see if working together feels right for you.
