I appreciate your willingness to put yourself first by looking for a new therapist. In working with me, you will find a safe space where differences are honored and valued. It is okay to feel as though you don't have it all together, and that not every aspect of your life is not figured out. It takes strength and courage to ask for support and sometimes the hardest thing to do is to take the first step. As a Black Woman, I recognize this challenge and the strength it takes to look at oneself, which is why I strive to create a safe therapeutic space. During the therapeutic process, I help clients tell their story and create meaning.
