A Black Therapist Helping You Understand Generational Relationship Patterns

My mission is to help Black women in New Jersey recognize how the strategies that once kept them safe (avoidance, going along to keep the peace, or blowing up when everything feels too heavy) now keep them disconnected.

These behaviors didn’t appear out of nowhere; they were learned responses to instability, criticism, or chaos. In therapy, we trace those automatic moves back to their roots, so you can finally understand why you react the way you do.

From there, we practice new ways to manage stress and relationship anxiety without disappearing, people-pleasing, or crashing out.

You’ll learn how to stay grounded in tense moments, communicate clearly, and tolerate closeness without losing yourself.

Change here is practical and focused. We’re going for less reacting, more responding, and relationships that actually feel like partnership, not performance.
