My  passion is decolonizing mental health systems that tell Black women and women of color they must present themselves in a certain way to be acceptable. I believe these systems can cause harm when they invalidate individuals on a cultural, spiritual, and ancestral level. As such, I seek to help liberate those who desire to have their voices heard and their lived experiences centered while they seek healing.

I work with Black women and women of color who identify as high achieving or may have been labeled as high functioning. Externally, they may look like they have it all together, but they don’t always feel like that on the inside. They recognize that there is room for self-improvement and prioritizing themselves, but they currently struggle to implement changes that move them toward accomplishing those goals. These women recognize the impact that various oppressive systems have on their current situation, and they are ready to challenge the dominant narrative to make their own path. I work together with my clients to help them learn to trust their own voice and realize how empowered they already are.
