Description
Hi there! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Maryland. I am available for individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. My goal is to help connect with your authentic self and actualize the best version of yourself. You may want to challenge generational patterns, prioritize your self growth, or fortify personal relationships. I will meet you with compassion and understanding as we explore childhood experiences, identify healthy coping skills as you work to handle yourself with care. It is never too late to start your season of you, let’s get started.
Blackness in itself is wildly diverse, much like its people. This even shows up in the ways that we navigate our mental health issues and experiences. Black people have such a long history of trauma and pain that it has almost become impossible to escape even now. The media is riddled with images of violence, highlighting the harsh realities of what it means to be Black. What it fails to capture are the social structures that allow us to persevere against systemic racism and oppression. We are taught to work twice as hard so we can be twice as good as our non-Black counterparts. We do this in the hopes that we will somehow escape the constraints placed on by society and bias forged from stereotypes.
We have created a culture that avoids all healthcare; despite our knowledge of the generational trauma cycles we have inherited. We say to ourselves that we don’t have time, that it's not for us. I am here to tell you that there is always time for you. During our work together we will process through the intergenerational traumas that have been passed down from our ancestors. We will handle ourselves with care and revel in the power that we can do so. We will love our inner child and forgive ourselves for choices we made when we were just trying to survive. The time is here, being your season of You.
