Do people assume you have it all together, but you're struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, or trauma that overwhelm your thoughts and emotions? Maybe you want to feel as confident and in control (on the inside) as other people think you are on the outside. You may look like you've got it all together, whether a mother or a corporate executive, but sometimes even the "strong one" needs support. As a Black woman and therapist, I use an intersectional approach to explore areas like identity (race, sexuality, gender), family, and environment, and you can experience being heard, supported, and empowered to thrive.
I focus on creating a safe and affirming space for you to begin to heal. I have spent over two decades working with people of all ages, backgrounds, and life experiences, providing care that helps alleviate emotional distress. I use my professional and clinical training and my lived experience to provide culturally attuned and highly specialized therapy.
You've come this far, and finding the right therapist is a critical step toward self-care that can have a meaningful and positive impact on how you feel about and live your life. Email me today, and let's schedule an appointment so you can get started on your journey of self-understanding and healing.
