helping you learn to love all parts of yourself

therapy for black women in North Carolina, Virginia and Florida

Despite checking off all the boxes and following the ‘rules,’ why does it still feel like something is missing?

You're smart, insightful—you understand your patterns and can even name your feelings. But knowing them and changing them are worlds apart, aren't they? Despite your self-awareness, those old habits are tough to break, and that critical inner voice keeps undermining your progress. Beneath that resilient exterior, there's often a storm of self-doubt, resulting from relational and childhood traumas that whisper you’re not enough. These voices critique every step you take, keeping you from truly owning your story.

I get it. It’s exhausting. You're everyone’s go-to—the rock they all lean on, where the weight of responsibility often falls heaviest. But what about when you’re the one who needs support? It takes immense courage to change those deep-seated emotional responses. We focus on helping you reclaim your voice and assert your needs, guiding you to not just know yourself, but to be yourself—free from the traps of your past traumas and the relentless pressure to perform.

If you're nodding along, know this: You're not alone. I see you, and I'm so glad you landed here.

Hey there, I'm America!

+ Let's keep it real: you don't have to keep hustling for your worth.

as a Black millennial woman, I know the grind and the pressure to prove yourself can feel like a cultural rite of passage. But let’s switch it up. Before that inner voice tells you ‘self-prioritization is a luxury you can’t afford,’ or ‘caring for yourself is selfish’, let me be clear: I hear get you. I understand the weight of being the ‘strong one,’ the (exhausted) eldest daughter, the (anxious) perfectionist and the (guilt-ridden) achiever who is the emotional sponge for everyone else’s issues.

Now here’s where it gets good: As your millennial therapist, I’ve tossed those dated, old-school methods out the window. I show up as my unfiltered, genuine self - and that real connection? It’s everything. Imagine therapy as teamwork, a two-way street where we navigate life’s curveballs and celebrate your wins together. No more sitting across from a therapist who nods and asks, “So, how does that make you feel?” You deserve more, and girl, I’m here to deliver.
