On the surface you’re excelling at work, you’re the strong support for your family and friends, and you’re getting done all the things you’re “supposed” to. Underneath it all, you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and like you’ve lost sight of your purpose and passions. You find yourself constantly compartmentalizing, leaving more and more of yourself on the back-burner just to get through all that’s expected of you. But where is the space for you? As a Black/African-descended therapist, I get the pressure to constantly be "Black Girl Magic" while inwardly needing to be in your "Soft Girl Era". I specialize in working with Black/African-descended women, femmes, and nonbinary teens & adults. Our work together is somatic and body-based; we will work WITH your body, not DESPITE your body. Using a blend of talk therapy, movement psychotherapy, and EMDR, you will experience a safe, culturally-affirming space to be fully and authentically you. Together we’ll learn how to listen to your body as an indicator of when your boundaries are being crossed, when too much is on your plate, when overwhelm is approaching, and discover all the ways your body has been trying to guide you back to safety and wholeness. Please reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a match!
