Why I Do This Work

There was a time when I couldn’t speak.

One day, in the middle of the silence, I heard myself laugh.

I did all the “right” things.

That’s when I turned inward.

Today, I help others—especially Black women and nonbinary folks—do the same.

Not because I didn’t want to—but because my body simply refused. I had achieved so much on paper: a doctorate degree in clinical psychology, a resume full of gold stars. But inside, I was numb. I couldn’t concentrate. I couldn’t drive. I was frozen, spiritually disconnected, and afraid I might never find my way back to myself.

It was the first sound of myself I had heard in a long time—and I followed it. That laugh didn’t come from a textbook. It came from deep within my body, from a place I had long ignored.

I went to therapy. I got the degrees. I did the work. And still, something wasn’t moving. Talk therapy alone wasn’t enough. I needed something more rooted, more embodied—something that spoke the language of my ancestors and my nervous system.

Through meditation, EMDR, ancestral imagery, and yoga, I learned to trust myself again. I learned that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering who you were before the breaking.

In our work together we will go beyond talk therapy. We will tap into your whole self—-mind, body and spirit.
