We all imagine a life worth living. We hope to get up each and every day with a clear sense of purpose and self-worth. And sometimes, life becomes overwhelming. The day to day tasks of living may feel insurmountable, and we may even consider giving up or running away from it all. We are pulled in so many directions and feel out of the driver’s seat in our own lives. Relationships we once valued seem meaningless and activities that used to bring us joy no longer do. We need to be reminded of who we are and our value to this world. We all want to be heard, understood and validated.

If you could be honest about your thoughts and feelings, what would you say? Maybe you’re tired of being strong all the time, holding everything together while slowly losing touch with yourself in the process. So many people carry the weight of being dependable and understanding, yet rarely have space to be real about their own pain. Therapy can be that space to stop performing, exhale, and find your way back to yourself.

I believe that psychotherapy is a meditative dialogue that is constructed between you and I with the purpose of creating a sacred space. The function of the dialogue within the sacred space is to access memories, symbolic images and past experiences that live in your unconscious, and bring those contents into present awareness. This entire process is to help your personality to grow and often decrease the experience of emotional and spiritual pain.

Are you tired of intrusive thoughts running your life? Exhausted from chronic anxiety? My ideal clients are adolescents and adults who are struggling with OCD, anxiety, trauma, race-based stress, or depression — and are ready to do something about it. Many of my clients have tried to manage on their own for years. Some have been in therapy before but never felt truly understood. Others are high-functioning on the outside while quietly overwhelmed on the inside. Many carry the added weight of racial trauma that previous therapists didn't know how to address. Whatever brings you here, you deserve care that sees all of you.

I help High-Functioning Black Women release the wounds of trauma through focused, faster-paced work instead of years of weekly, traditional therapy.
You've been carrying this for years. Anxiety comes out of nowhere, felt in your chest before you even know why. You cry at things that don't warrant it, shut down, or feel you overreact in ways you hate. You're so ready to get over your past, but it just keeps showing up. You've been managing everyone else's well-being and haven't attended to your own. On paper, you're good! Underneath it, you're exhausted. Healing this, actually healing it, is exactly what's been holding you back.

I work with therapists and seasoned therapy participants who have been deep in top-down processing: they're insightful, self-aware, have read the things, and learned the skills. People who want to work with me either have a lot of energy circling a specific question, issue, concern, or experience and/or are finding themselves missing something, longing for something, feeling stuck, wanting more, intellectualizing less, or wanting to feel more connected in some way to what they already know.
