Hey Sis! As a Black therapist to high-achieving executive women of color in both corporate and entertainment, I feel you juggling roles as a boss, wife, mom, caregiver, wearing all those hats with the S on your chest and superwoman cape on. I know you're tired and that's ok! You may feel stretched thin and the weight of responsibilities burdensome. Trying to be everything to everybody is hard and highly unrealistic. There's a need for a new paradigm shift and the shift starts with you. Let's shift towards healthier boundaries, greater clarity in purpose, work and life harmony, peace inside, pure joy, healing, and ultimate FREEDOM.
Let me be your personal GPS as you are the expert driver navigating life's twists and turns. In addition to talk therapy, I use a unique blend of expressive arts and EMDR which targets your body. You will get some new perspectives, coping skills to implement, and tools to help you get un- stuck, feel greater relief, hope, and ultimately thrive in life.
There is strength in vulnerability. You deserve a sanctuary to remove the mask, take off the superwoman cape, and receive judgement free support from a therapist who keeps it REAL. Reach out and let's take it step by step together.
