Black women often silently feel overwhelmed by trauma, stress, and the pressure to always be “the strong one.” Carrying work, family roles, and expectations can leave you exhausted, on edge, or feeling invisible. Over time, unprocessed trauma and racial stress can keep your body stuck in survival mode. Trauma therapy offers a supportive space to exhale without performing or proving. Using EMDR and Brainspotting, we’ll process any trauma weighing you down and create relief from the constant pressure of holding everything together, and fighting through. Online in MD, VA, NJ , AL & VT. Book a free 15-minute consultation.
With over 15 years of counseling experience, I specialize in supporting Black women navigating burnout, grief, perfectionism, workplace trauma, stress, and major life transitions. We’ll move at your pace, with consent and choice, while addressing trauma, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion so your body can finally experience relief.
You’re invited to submit your counseling request here on Psychology Today or visit my site to book a FREE 15-minute consultation call. This work is about helping your body and mind finally feel safer. Services are self-pay, and I use Thrizer to help you access your out-of-network insurance benefits so care can feel more manageable.

In our sessions, we'll use EMDR to process past wounds and release emotional weight they carry. We also use Brainspotting to locate trauma in the body. This approach calms your nervous system and eases the sting of painful memories so you regain the clarity, emotional balance, and empowerment. Together you'll feel more in control, self-aware, and open to deeper healing and connection.
