Description
As an Black woman living in Chicago, I understand the pressure to ‘have it together’ or the need to be emotionally and mentally strong at all times. Life is extreme and when you add in the pressures to conform to the way of the world, life can be unbearable. Growing up on the west side of Chicago, I was able to see the inequities faced by brown and black people. I was able to see the negative impact of the injustices placed on the brown and black people. I was able to see the clear segregation of people, resources, and support and I am able to understand the pain the world has caused.
My goal is to remind people of color that they are powerful, that their voices should be loud and clear, and that their presence is necessary.
My passion is to be and create a safe space for those who struggle with just being. I am trauma informed and LGBTQIA+ affirming in my therapeutic practice. I support people in finding the paths to work through the stressors of life. I welcome you as you are, I’m not here to tell you how to live your life. I’m here to support in creating a life you deserve. Through a culturally sensitive lens, I will meet you where you are and bring strength to our therapy as you grow in confidence and self-acceptance.
Together, we can find strategies to break free from the anxiety. We will identify the root causes of your anxiety and develop a plan to find you and the life that you want to live. We will focus on finding the root of your stress, create ways to cope, and build on what works for you. My goal is to be your guide to reaching YOUR goals and I am dedicated to that. Reach out today to start prioritizing you!
