As an African American therapist, I've chosen to focus my practice on the mental well-being of minority women. Why? Because I've lived it, and I know the unique challenges we face. It's not just about therapy; it's about creating a safe haven where you can unpack the layers of your experiences, unapologetically be yourself, and embrace the strength within. So, why did I become a therapist? Well, life threw its fair share of curveballs my way, and I learned the power of seeking support. I understand the constant juggling act of trying to be there for everyone else; its a delicate dance and I'm here to be a safety net.In the world of mental health, depression and anxiety are like shadowy figures that linger in the corners of our minds. They can be relentless, and they don't discriminate. But let me tell you, they can be understood, managed, and even conquered. My therapeutic approach is about recognizing the unique dimensions of your life that give rise to stress.I've danced through the challenges of life; from the ups and downs of relationships to the balancing act of career and personal growth, I've been there. And yes, I've faced my own struggles with mental health, as have close family members. This real-world experience is the secret ingredient that adds depth and authenticity to our therapeutic journey.
