You look like you have it all together, but the armor is getting heavy.

Society has rewarded your resilience, your excellence, and your ability to push through no matter what. Whether you’re navigating systemic friction in corporate or academic spaces, caring for everyone around you, or quietly managing high-functioning anxiety, you rarely get a place where you can just... exhale.You shouldn't have to explain microaggressions, racial fatigue, or cultural nuances to your therapist just to get support.

What We Work On

In our work together, we don't just talk in circles—we help your nervous system experience real safety and relief.

We focus on:

Releasing "Strong Black Woman" Burnout: Learning that your worth is not tied to how much pain, pressure, or responsibility you can carry.

Guilt-Free Boundaries: Shifting out of chronic people-pleasing and over-extending yourself for family, work, or partnerships.

Somatic & Nervous System Peace: Using proven, body-based methods like EMDR & Brainspotting Therapy so you don't have to re-traumatize yourself just to heal.

Virtual Therapy Across Massachusetts & Maryland I provide culturally responsive, high-touch online therapy for Black women and femmes living throughout MA (Areas include Boston, Cambridge, Quincy, Somerville, Raynham) and MD (Areas include Silver Spring, Bethesda, Baltimore, Prince George's County, and surrounding areas).

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s what you should know

  • Absolutely not. You shouldn't have to spend your paid 50 minutes explaining basic cultural nuances, code-switching, or systemic pressures. As a Black female therapist centering BIPOC experiences, I offer a space where your lived experience is understood from day one. You don't have to translate yourself here—you can just show up and heal.

  • Yes. You don't need to be in crisis or have survived a catastrophic event to deserve deep care. High-functioning anxiety, carrying the "Strong Black Woman" trope, and feeling like you always have to hold everything together are heavy loads on your nervous system. Therapy is here to help you rest, set boundaries, and move out of survival mode.

  • A: I am an out-of-network/private pay provider. This allows us total clinical freedom to focus on your specific goals without insurance companies dictating your session length, treatment plan, or requiring a formal diagnosis. I partner with services like Thrizer and can provide monthly Superbills so you can seek partial out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider. Read full details on my Fees & Investment Page.

  • All sessions take place over a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. As long as you are physically located in MA (e.g., Boston, Cambridge, Quincy, Raynham) or MD (e.g., Silver Spring, Bethesda, Baltimore, PG County) at the time of your session, you can access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your home or office.

  • Yes! EMDR and Brainspotting are not just for acute trauma—they are powerful tools for releasing internal pressure, people-pleasing, and the body's fight-or-flight response.
