In the Black community, seeking therapy can be seen as a taboo. We are encouraged to seek medical care for our physical bodies. 

However, engaging in therapy should be utilized as a rhythmic self-care practice; due to the daily stressors life brings and traumatic events that affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I offer a safe, therapeutic space for women of color to express themselves freely and receive the inner healing they desire.
