Description
EMDR & IFS specialist for childhood trauma. EMDRIA-certified. Now accepting Highmark. Evening/weekend telehealth available.
Trauma isn't just something that happens to you—it's a profound interruption of your sense of self, safety, and belonging. As a Black woman therapist with 20 years of experience, I understand how trauma can be deeply personal yet universally connected to broader systems of oppression, racism, and gender-based violence.
I specialize in helping adults heal from childhood trauma, race-based trauma, and gender-based trauma. Many of my clients are Black women navigating the weight of experiences that happened in childhood—experiences that still whisper lies about your worth, steal your peace, and disconnect you from your own resilience. Your body holds wisdom. Your pain tells a story of survival, not brokenness.
Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR (EMDRIA-certified) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I'll honor your experience. I'll help you reconnect with your body, process difficult memories, work with the younger parts of you still carrying old wounds, and transform painful experiences into sources of strength. This isn't about "getting over" what happened—it's about writing a new narrative of healing, agency, and radical self-love.
I offer both in-person sessions in Elkins Park (near Philadelphia) and virtual therapy across Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and Idaho. My standard rate is $200 per 50-minute session. I'm in-network with Aetna and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield (including Medicare Advantage plans for both), and offer a limited number of sliding scale slots to support accessible care.
