My ideal clients are high-functioning but tired: Black women, LGBTQIA+ folks, neurodivergent professionals, caregivers, and creatives who've spent years showing up for everyone else. They arrive carrying burnout, complex trauma, identity strain, or relationship stress — often after feeling unseen in therapy before. Using EMDR, IFS, Brainspotting, and CBT/DBT, I help them regulate their nervous systems, understand protective patterns, and reconnect to parts of themselves they've had to shrink or shelve. We move at their pace, without pressure to perform. My goal isn't to fix them — it's to walk alongside them as they come home to who
I specialize in trauma recovery using EMDR, Brainspotting, and IFS-informed parts work, blended with CBT/DBT for grounding. My approach is culturally affirming and identity-centered — no code-switching required. I help clients regulate overwhelm, unpack protective patterns, and reconnect to self, at a pace that honors their story.
If you're tired of holding it all together, you're not alone — and you don't have to keep doing it that way. This space welcomes your whole self, no explaining or shrinking required. Healing doesn't mean becoming someone new; it means coming home to who you've always been. I'd love to walk that path with you.
