Holding multiple roles, relationships, identities, and expectations can make it easy to lose sight of yourself and what you need. Maybe you're carrying experiences you haven't fully had space to process, feeling burnt out from constantly showing up for everyone else, trying to understand complicated family or relationship dynamics, or realizing that some of the patterns that helped you survive aren't working for you anymore. I work with people navigating trauma, identity, relationships, family dynamics, burnout, life transitions, and the complicated parts of being human. I have a particular passion for working with Black women, neurodivergent folx, parents and caregivers, and people navigating intersecting identities. I also enjoy working with adults who are trying to understand their relationships with their parents, break intergenerational patterns, or figure out who they are outside of the roles and expectations they've carried. My approach is relational, attachment-based, and culturally grounded. That means I'm interested not only in what you're experiencing, but in what has shaped it, as well as the relationships, family, culture, identities, experiences, and systems you've had to navigate. We'll make connections between the past and present, notice patterns that keep showing up, and work toward changes that actually make sense for your life. I also incorporate mindfulness and body-based work because sometimes understanding something intellectually isn't the same as feeling different. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and real. You don't have to perform, filter yourself, or come in knowing exactly what to say. There's room for difficult conversations and being challenged, but there's also room for humor, joy, frustration, messiness, and simply being human. I'm not here to tell you who you should become. I want to help you understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost along the way, and decide what you want to carry forward.
