Introduction

Take a deep breath. As a person of color, you likely carry a heavy pain hidden just to survive. You’ve fought quiet battles alone, forced to stay "strong" while breaking inside. And I want you to know—right here, right now—you’re in the right place. I see you. This isn't just stress—it’s the weight of being judged while working twice as hard to be seen. This weight spills into your home. You snap at loved ones, pull away, or feel alone even when people are near. You feel you must be "perfect" and/or parent from fear for your child's safety. Double standards are real and your anger is valid. You aren't imagining it. Let's heal. I am an African American therapist who gets it on a cultural and generational level. Here, you don't have to change how you speak or act to fit in. You can stop toning down your feelings to make others comfortable. I give you tools to stop the drain and find your peace. We will work through the weight you carry so you can be your true self. You belong here. This is your space to breathe. Your pain is believed and your exhaustion honored. Without change, the weight only grows. Imagine an inner peace at work, soft words and deep connection with your partner, truly laughing with family and friends, and a light calm inside. Schedule a free 15-minute call today. You deserve to heal before you lose yourself.
