Have you ever felt lost in the weight of grief, anxiety, depression, or trauma, wondering if you’ve forgotten your true value? Or perhaps the many responsibilities of daily life have made it difficult to keep you in the equation, causing you to push your own needs aside? It's easy to lose sight of who you truly are when life gets overwhelming. But what if you could reconnect with your inner strength and recognize that your value is not defined by what you do or how much you give to others, but by the simple truth that you are enough as you are?

Supervised by Jeffrey Gallup MA LPC-S. I enjoy working with clients ready to explore their thoughts and emotions in a safe and supportive environment. They may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, whether that’s due to anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, or a general sense of dissatisfaction. They’re looking for a space to show up fully as themselves, in a place where they will be accepted without judgment, and begin to work through what’s holding them back.

Counseling is an opportunity to manage and work through confusing issues. I support clients using Person-Centered Therapy and Humanistic techniques to heal them from their past, engage with the present, and work toward a consistently healthy future. Focusing on providing nonjudgmental, empathetic services, I aim to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of who they are, what they desire or need, and where they are going in life. When we have greater awareness of ourselves and our relationships, we are better able to gain a greater sense of belonging and significance.

You look like you have it together. Good job, good life, people who depend on you. But inside you are exhausted, your closest relationships feel like work, and there is a version of yourself you have slowly lost touch with. You are not broken. You are a woman in the middle of a season that is asking more than it is giving, and you are ready for something to actually change.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.

Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.

Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.

How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
