I work with clients who struggle with mental health concerns due to their cultural and/or racial identity.
You can feel the tingly, anxious energy in your body and hear the non-stop, racing thoughts in your mind. All of it is screaming to come out but you're paralyzed with indecision and fear. It's like that opossum meme, just a constant "AHHH". You're stuck deep in the hole of your own mind with no escape in sight. And yet, even with the constant screaming, you somehow still feel empty and alone. Or maybe you just feel different from those around you. Like everyone got the memo on how to "live life right" but you. It all feels pointless and annoying... but you still want to know why people think life is worth living.

Have you noticed that you are feeling stuck, triggered, or even something deeper keeps nagging you? Navigating through uncertainty and stress can feel overwhelming and isolating. It is during these moments where we have to assess our experiences and relationships. Healing from narcissistic and toxic relationships can cause unimaginative damage to your core. Recovery from any form of toxicity (relational or systemic) has to be strategically deconstructed and leads you back to a healed version of yourself that embraces you.
