Description
You are the one everyone goes to—but who do you go to? What's your first memory of learning to be the responsible one. Maybe you became the overachiever, fixer, or the person who didn't need much from anyone.
But the role you learned in your family doesn't always stay restricted to those relationships. It can follow you into your career, friendships, and intimate relationships—showing up as anxiety, burnout, resentment, difficulty asking for help, and relationships where you carry more than your share.
With more than 22 years of experience as a therapist, former professor, and educator of more than 300 therapists, I bring a depth of understanding to my work with Black women. I look beyond immediate symptoms to explore the generational expectations, and relationship patterns that may contribute to the pressure to always be the strong one. Understanding where these patterns began can help us identify what needs to change today.
When you reach out, you’ll connect directly with me—not a large therapy platform or intake team. I’m an independent therapist, and from your initial consultation through our work together, you’ll be speaking with me. I work with high-achieving Black women who want to understand the family roles and generational patterns beneath these struggles—not just manage the latest crisis.
