YOUR GEN X ANXIETY THERAPIST

My mission is to destigmatize the idea of mental health services in our community.

Your voices will be heard, your pain will be validated, and your story will be transformed into one of resilience and renewal.

In our work together, you can develop the skills to manage anxiety so you can get on with living your best life.

As a black Gen X women myself, I completely understand the unique challenges some of us face during this transitional period in life. Also, as a trained and licensed therapist, I also have a front row seat to how anxiety related to life's changes effects many, many women. When left unchecked, it dampers our ability to experience the joys of life in it's fullest capacity.

Our experiences are unique and some of us were raised where "emotions" were not a topic of discussion. "Strength" was celebrated and displaying difficult emotions were a sign of "weakness". GET OVER IT....was the motto of the time.

So now we're here...feeling...something....but not sure what the heck it is! Stuck. Our parents don't show or talk about "feelings"...our children are ALL ABOUT THE FEELS. And then there's us....somewhere sandwiched in the middle.

As I personally entered this midlife phase, I noticed a shift. My 20's and 30's were all about grinding, working hard, raising children, paying bills, getting degrees, climbing the proverbial "corporate ladder". GO...GO.....GO!!! No time for nothing else. And then...just like that...I'm in my 40's. Switching careers. Grown kids. Clapping at graduations. Crying at funerals. Thinking about the past. Worrying about the future.........

Enter therapy! I studied mental health...hell...got a whole master's degree and state license! But having access to information about "all the things" doesn't hold a candle to practicing and implementing these skills in your everyday life!

  • Gaining skills to fully experience, name, embrace and understand your emotions.

  • Learning to thoughtfully respond, as opposed to habitually react, to your emotions.

  • Objectively observing your thoughts and emotions and not getting dragged by them.

  • Understanding how anxiety looks and feels for you and managing it so you can live your best life.....

MAAAANNNNN.....Now that's top tier...chef's kiss!
