You Don’t Have to Hold It All Together

Anxiety Therapy for Women of Color who are tired of just surviving.

Serving Montclair, NJ, St. Petersburg, FL, DE, & SC

You’ve been holding it all together for everyone else…

Let’s help you finally exhale.

You’ve been showing up for everyone—work, family, friends—even when your own tank has been running on empty.

You tell yourself you’re fine, but deep down, you’re just… tired. Not the kind a nap can fix, but the kind that lives in your bones.

You’ve mastered the art of pushing through: smiling when you’re stressed, holding it down when everything feels heavy, saying “I got it” even when you don’t. But lately, the weight is getting harder to carry. You’re more anxious, more forgetful, and more on edge. Your mind won’t turn off; you wake up tense and go to bed wired.

That’s survival mode—your body still running from a fire that burned out long ago. It’s what happens when you’ve been the strong one for too long, when your nervous system forgets how to rest because life has never really given you permission.

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to earn your peace.

You deserve a life that feels soft, grounded, and real—one where you can finally exhale without worrying that something will fall apart.

Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you find yourself again: the woman who isn’t constantly bracing for the next thing. The woman who feels safe in her own body, sure of her own voice, and at peace in her own skin.

You’ve been holding it all together long enough. Let’s make room for you to rest, release, and rebuild—without guilt.
