Before I became a therapist, I was just like so many of the women I now work with: ambitious, capable, and quietly overwhelmed. I knew how to show up for everyone else but had no idea how to show up for me. I thought anxiety was just part of the grind and that emotional self-protection was strength. But doing my own self-work changed everything.

​

Learning to build a healthier relationship with myself, one rooted in compassion, boundaries, and emotional honesty, helped me step out of survival mode and into a more secure, grounded way of being. It didn’t happen overnight (healing rarely does), but I’ve lived the journey from over-functioning and anxious attachment to peace, presence, and self-trust.

And now, that’s the work I help other Black women do, too.
