Is people-pleasing and overfunctioning costing you rest, joy, and connection?
Do family expectations and corporate pressure leave you questioning who you really are?
Therapy for high-achieving women of color and multicultural couples
I work with well-resourced but depleted Black women and other women of color, particularly young to middle-aged creatives who have spent most of their lives being the steady one for everyone else. Outwardly successful, things may look good, but inside you might feel exhausted, resentful, or disconnected from your own needs after years of carrying the “strong Black woman” role, navigating corporate dynamics, and absorbing assumptions from family and society about who you should be.
My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. In therapy, we make space for the real complexity: ambition and fatigue, love and resentment, pride and pressure. We’ll focus on practical, sustainable change, like strengthening boundaries, easing burnout, managing anxiety and overfunctioning, and shifting patterns that keep you stuck in caretaking or perfectionism. We’ll also explore identity, belonging, and self-trust so you can choose what fits you now, not what you were trained to be.
As a biracial therapist, I bring an attuned understanding of nuance and lived experience. My goal is to help you feel more resourced, more authentic, and more connected to yourself and in your relationships. I also support multicultural couples who want deeper emotional intimacy and healthier communication.
What to Expect
When you work with me, I want therapy to feel both human and intentional. Sessions are conversational and warm, with room to exhale, be real, and show up exactly as you are, without performing strength or having to explain every layer. From the beginning, we’ll collaborate on a holistic treatment plan that reflects your goals, values, relationships, culture, and day-to-day realities.
I integrate your own internal wisdom with the flexible structure of humanistic, relationship-centered modalities, and I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to offer practical, real-life tools. This is especially supportive for ambitious women of color, multicultural couples, and creatives navigating corporate pressure, family expectations, and the “strong Black woman” role.
Our work with
ACT
might include learning how to unhook from painful thoughts, make room for difficult emotions, clarify what matters most, and take values-aligned steps that actually fit your life. This approach can be particularly helpful for
neurodivergent clients, including those with
high-masking or late-identified autism, who want therapy that honors their experience while creating more ease, authenticity, and sustainable self-support.

DEPRESSION
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Humanistic approach, we will focus on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, developing coping strategies, and promoting positive behavioral changes.
ANXIETY
Like depression, anxiety can be managed with identifying and changing negative thought patterns. Adding relaxation techniques and mindfulness used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy not only promotes positive behavioral changes but also coping tools to practice when life becomes overwhelming.
