Feel. Heal. Live.
Therapy for Women of Color Ready to Stop Surviving and Start Living.
Serving Montclair, NJ, St. Petersburg, FL, DE, & SC
“everyone thinks you’ve got it all together, right?”
But inside, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, and your thoughts are on repeat. You no longer feel connected to the person others see on the outside, because, deep down, you’re stuck in survival mode – paralyzed and wondering when life is going to finally happen for you.
Maybe it’s those delayed milestones that don’t match the timeline that you imagined. Maybe it’s the anxiety of midlife changes – navigating shifts in identity, relationships, or your career. Perhaps you’re simply trying to figure out who you are in the midst of all the chaos. Either way, it’s exhausting.
In my practice, I partner with Women of Color like you; helping you to step out of survival mode and step into slowing down without guilt, feeling emotions instead of numbing them, setting boundaries without shutting down, and not measuring your worth by your productivity. This is what it means to feel. heal. live. You deserve to confidently live a life that’s aligned. One where your joy is rooted, not borrowed. I see you and I’m here to help you unpack it all. You don’t have to keep going through the motions alone. Imagine what it would feel like to step out of “just getting by” and start living a life you love. That’s where we’re headed together.
Take a moment to explore the site to learn about me and the services that I offer. When you’re ready, I’d love to connect by answering any questions or getting you started on your journey!
