Helping High-Performing People
ESPECIALLY BLACK WOMEN - UNLEARN THE PRESSURE TO OVER-FUNCTION
Therapy designed to help you move from understanding to unlearning what no longer serves you
You've been carrying the internalized pressure to over-function long enough.
Let's figure out what's underneath it and how to move forward.
There comes a moment when things begin to click. You start to understand yourself more deeply—your patterns, your emotions, and the experiences shaping how you move through the world. And with that understanding comes possibility.
But insight alone doesn’t always change the patterns that keep you over-extended.
You may be able to name what’s not working, and still, you find yourself over-functioning, overgiving, or pushing past your limits in order to hold everything together and maintain what others see as “doing well.”
With the right support, you can develop the skills to make decisions that feel aligned, set boundaries that hold, and show up in ways that are both effective and sustainable.
That is where this work begins.
I hold space for every part of your identity in the healing process because real healing requires your whole self.
Most therapeutic models were not designed with Black women, people of color, or marginalized communities at the center. As a psychologist who researches how cultural and stress-related factors shape mental health experiences, I don't treat culture as “extra”, I treat it as essential.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and shaped by what the research actually tells us about how identity, systemic stress, and lived experience affect mental health. I use modalities, like DBT and other skill-based frameworks, but I apply them in ways that center your cultural strengths and lived wisdom.
Here's what working together actually looks like.
FREE CONSULTATION:
We start with a brief consultation call so you can ask questions, get a feel for my approach, and we can both determine if we're a good fit. There's no pressure, no commitment.
ACTIVE WORK:
This is where we get into it, identifying patterns, building skills, and putting what you're learning into practice between sessions. Insight and action, together, every week.
INTAKE & GROUNDING:
Our first sessions are about building the foundation, understanding your full story, your cultural context, your goals, and what you've already tried. I listen before I lead.
SUSTAINABLE CHANGE:
The goal is for you to develop a deep understanding of yourself and to obtain the tools to keep growing, on your own terms, in your own life.
You don't have to keep navigating this alone.
You already have insight. This is where you learn how to use it in a way that creates meaningful, lasting change.
