Description
You are not a bad parent. You are carrying things nobody helped you put down.
Whether you are a co-parent who cannot get on the same parenting page with someone you no longer chose, a parent trying to raise your kids differently than you were raised, a parent of a teenager who has gone quiet, a couple caught in the same cycle, or a woman who has been managing everyone else's feelings for so long that you have lost track of your own, this is the right place.
THE CO-PARENTING & PARENTING WORK
Many of my clients come in focused on the other parent. What we discover is that the conflict is rarely just about schedules, decisions, or who said what. It is about unresolved hurt, incompatible parenting philosophies, and patterns that were passed down long before either of you became parents.
I work with co-parents navigating high-conflict dynamics and communication breakdowns, whether married, divorced, separated, or never together. I work with parents doing the intentional work of interrupting generational cycles. Parents of Black and brown children who were raised with survival strategies that kept them safe but are now showing up in how they parent. And parents of teenagers who need a different kind of approach than what worked when their kids were young.
THE COUPLES WORK
If you and your partner keep having the same argument, it is rarely about the surface issue. Escalation happens quickly. Someone shuts down. Old wounds enter the room. Attempts to repair sometimes make things worse.
I specialize in working with couples who feel caught in painful cycles and want meaningful change, including couples navigating betrayal, emotional injury, and uncertainty about whether to stay together.
I do not sit back and observe the conflict. I guide it. When escalation starts, I slow it down in real time. We examine what is happening beneath the argument, what feels threatened, what each partner is protecting, and practice repair while you are sitting together.
THE INDIVIDUAL WORK
Many of my individual clients learned early that love was conditional. They became skilled at reading the room, preventing conflict, and holding everything together. Those strategies may have kept you safe. Now they may be creating exhaustion, resentment, and the quiet loneliness of never being fully known.
Individual therapy focuses on building self-trust, reducing hyper-responsibility, and strengthening your ability to stay in your body when things get hard, so that your relationships feel steadier and less reactive.
I also facilitate the Soft Power Women's Group, a virtual therapy group for Black women who learned to stay small to feel loved.
HOW I WORK
My approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment theory. I am warm and relational, and I am also active and structured in session. My work is attachment-based, trauma-informed, developmental, and systems-oriented. In plain terms, we look at where patterns started, how they make sense given what you lived through, and how to shift them without shame.
I also integrate faith-based perspectives for clients who desire it, and I have deep experience working with Black families navigating the specific weight of generational patterns, cultural context, and the tension between the parenting they received and the parenting they want to give.
Change often begins subtly. A pause where there used to be escalation. Clarity where there used to be confusion. Steadiness where there used to be bracing.
