Helping Black Women Break Free from the Past & Reclaim Themselves

You don’t have to keep carrying what was never yours to hold.

Drop the burdens and replace it with something beautiful.

I help women work through the emotional weight of family relationships and create connections that feel fulfilling—without guilt, resentment, or waiting for others to change.

My Mission: Helping Black Women Release the Past and Step Into Their Fullest Lives

Many Black women grew up in families where love felt earned, distant, or weighed down by unspoken rules.

That doesn’t just disappear. It shows up in self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, and struggles with trust, communication, and connection.

I help Black women stop waiting for family dynamics to change, let go of resentment, and finally trust themselves again. Therapy isn’t about fixing the past—it’s about freeing yourself to create the life and relationships you deserve.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. Let’s move forward, together.

My Story: I Know This Journey Because I’ve Lived It

I spent years keeping my distance.

It was easier that way. My family relationships are complicated, messy, and painful. Avoidance became my survival strategy.

So, I built a life. I worked hard, got married, had a daughter, and kept moving forward. I could handle anything—as long as I didn’t have to ask for help. Vulnerability? Not a chance. I got things done, but I always felt alone.

Then something shifted. I saw how the same patterns I grew up with were showing up in my relationships. The habits that once protected me were now keeping me disconnected.

That’s when I realized: healing isn’t just about the past—it’s about learning to give yourself what you never got.

It’s about living (I mean really living) in the present and looking forward to the future.

The little girl? She needed safety, protection, validation, and love. That little girl is still with me, but at 49 years old, no one is coming to give it to her. I had to learn how to give it to myself.

And once that happened, I was able to receive love.

Therapists often find this work through their own healing. I did, and continue to do, the work—hard, heartbreaking, and freeing work. And I’ve seen what happens when you stop carrying what isn’t yours, release past hurts, and finally choose yourself.

It changes everything.

And I want that for you, too!
