If you're a woman from the Caribbean or African diaspora who looks like she has it together, showing up for everyone, then comes home and shuts down behind a closed door, your body already knows this isn't sustainable. Generational stress, relationship pressure, and financial weight often show up as autoimmune flares, exhaustion sleep won't fix, and a body that never fully rests. Many women I work with also carry sexual trauma that was minimized or never spoken about, and a mother wound built from silence, abuse or neglect.
I help women stop bracing for the next thing, trust themselves again, and say no without guilt. You won't have to explain your family or culture first. I also help couples stop fighting about the same money issue, rebuild trust, and set boundaries that protect what they've built together.
If you're in Georgia and ready to stop holding it together alone, book a free consultation. Whether you're just beginning to name what you've been through, or you've done this before and are looking for someone who actually gets it, reach out today.

I specialize in generational trauma, financial trauma, and emotional regulation, drawing on somatic work, EMDR, and nervous system science. Many clients are women from the Caribbean or African diaspora who grew up where emotions and money were never discussed. If you're carrying money shame, scarcity, or anxiety, I go there. No scripts, no lectures, no judgment, just the actual work.

In sessions, we'll go underneath the anxiety and the shutdown, to what your body's actually still holding onto. Using somatic therapy, parts work, inner child healing, and narrative approaches, you'll start catching the pattern before it runs the whole show, and build self-compassion that actually holds up on a hard day.
