But oh how I loved everybody else
When I finally got to talk so much about myself…

Low Self-Worth?
You struggle with feelings of low self-worth because of what you were told about yourself in the past by those you loved.
-
Being the Strong One?
You’ve felt like you had to be the “strong one” and push past the pain because you can’t afford to “breakdown”. People depend on you.
-
Lost Yourself?
You feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way and can’t find your way back.
Helping…
-
Take off your mask.
In this therapy space we are intentional about your healing. This is your time; you are encouraged to take off your mask. You don’t have to pretend here; we are all human beings.
-
Gain clarity.
You will learn how to sit with your emotions (without judgment); we work to help you become bigger; big enough to sit with strong emotions, in a mature way. You will learn to listen to yourself and in turn, gain clarity.
-
Unburden yourself.
As you tell your story you may choose to release some old thinking and develop new ideas that serve you. I act as a support and guide to you. You may be going through or have survived the deepest of hurt and feel a great deal of pain but, I hold space for all of you. I will model maturity and compassion. You will learn to sit with your feelings without being overtaken.
ALL women are welcome; I work primarily with the Global Majority & LGBTQ+A community. Our clients have full lives are considered “the strong ones”; they have not taken the necessary time to slow the pace, heal. They don’t want to Have to play the role of the “strong black woman” all the time. They are strong, yes, but, need a soft place to REST and this space is designed especially for them. Our therapist model what we know and watch you grow.
This practice is Decolonized; clients learn to develop self-compassion and a mature understanding about how their past is influencing the present.
Many of our clients begin to experience clarity and are able to define what they need. They feel more control and in touch with their true “self”, which had been there all the time. It’s cool to see.
