About My Clients

Gen X'ers are juggling personal responsibilities, your career and loved ones can leave you emotionally drained. The anxiety of never doing enough, stress from constant decisions, loneliness of carrying it all, and guilt over wanting relief—these feelings are valid. You're not selfish for needing support. Together, we'll explore these complex emotions, break cycles of self-sacrifice, and rebuild connections with yourself and others. Healing starts with acknowledging your humanity.

My Background and Approach

I have 12+ years of experience helping adults navigate family and relationships . My clients are exhausted from being everyone's go-to person while caring for aging parents and special needs children alongside demanding careers. They struggle with burnout, overwhelm, and saying no. I specialize in helping clients navigate fear, worry, stress, irritability, and guilt. Using CBT, ACT, DBT, and somatic techniques, I guide clients in setting healthy boundaries, healing from trauma, and breaking free from people-pleasing patterns. I create a nurturing environment where clients can honor their authentic needs and live healthier, happier lives. I understand balancing personal and professional demands. I'm passionate about helping clients shed burdens and embrace fulfilling lives. Licensed in New York and Connecticut.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a Gen X, black woman and therapist, I intimately understand how identity, resilience, and representation shape our healing journeys. I'm deeply passionate about working with exhausted caregivers, bold creatives, visionary entrepreneurs, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and trailblazing leaders who are courageously navigating their multifaceted identities. I specialize in dismantling fear, worry, stress, and guilt that keep you stuck. I'll guide you in reclaiming your boundaries, healing ancestral wounds, and liberating yourself from suffocating patterns rooted in cultural, familial, or societal expectations. Together, we'll create a sacred space where your authentic self can finally breathe. My mission? Empowering you to live boldly and authentically, honoring the beautiful complexity of your journey. You deserve a sanctuary where you're truly seen, deeply valued, and unconditionally supported. Book a free consultation today!
