Helping Black Professionals Anchor Through Visibility, and Career Transitions.
In this short video, I talk about what it means to be a Black professional navigating visibility, pressure, and the emotional weight that comes with being “the only one” in many spaces.
You’ve carried so much for so long that people assume you’re fine — high achieving, dependable, the one who rises to every challenge. But what the world sees rarely reflects what’s happening inside. The pressure to excel, be visible, and represent can leave your body exhausted and your mind racing. Even when you pause, you don’t always feel rested.
Therapy is where we slow down that internal storm. Together, we build grounding practices you can use between sessions — tools that help you feel calmer, clearer, and more connected, even in demanding environments. My approach blends mind-body therapy, mindfulness, and culturally rooted care, so you can navigate anxiety and burnout with more ease, not more effort.
Who I Work With
I specialize in supporting Black women navigating:
anxiety and chronic overthinking
burnout and emotional exhaustion
major life transitions
feeling pressure to represent at work
perfectionism and overfunctioning
difficulty slowing down or resting
disconnection from the body
the emotional weight of visibility
If you’re a Black woman longing for grounding, clarity, and more emotional space, this work is designed for you.
How I Work
My approach blends mindfulness, grounding practices, and integrative mind-body therapy to help your nervous system settle — not just your thoughts. We work in focused phases so you can see and feel your progress over time.
Step One: Assessment + Clarity
In our first phase, we explore what’s most pressing right now and identify meaningful, measurable goals. This helps us stay grounded in what matters most and track your progress as it unfolds.
Step Two: Grounding + Mind-Body Tools
I’ll teach you step-by-step grounding practices designed to reduce anxious activation and reconnect you to your body. These tools are simple, gentle, and personalized — and you’ll learn to use them even on the busiest days.
Step Three: Practice Between Sessions
Real change happens between sessions, not just during them. I’ll help you integrate brief mindfulness rituals and grounding techniques into your everyday life so you feel supported throughout the week, not only in our time together.
Step Four: Evaluate + Advance
Every 8–12 weeks, we review your progress and decide whether to deepen the work or thoughtfully transition toward closure. Many Black women discover new layers of healing once they feel grounded — and together we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
What You Can Expect to Change
As we work together, many Black women begin to notice shifts that feel both subtle and powerful. With consistent grounding and mind-body practices, you may experience:
less overthinking and mental spinning
fewer spikes of anxiety
a steadier internal pace
deeper rest and easier breathing
more connection to your body
clearer boundaries (with less guilt)
more emotional space and capacity
a sense of returning to yourself
This work isn’t about perfection or forced positivity.
It’s about building a calmer, more grounded relationship with your inner world — one that supports you in your daily life, not just in moments of crisis.
Where I Work
I provide online therapy for Black women across California.
In the East Bay, I regularly work with clients in:
Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Lake Merritt, Grand Lake, Piedmont Avenue, and Temescal.
If you live anywhere in California, we can meet virtually through secure telehealth.
If You’re Ready
If you’re ready to feel more grounded, supported, and connected to yourself, I’d be honored to walk with you through this next chapter of your healing. You don’t have to navigate anxiety or burnout alone — there are tools, practices, and pathways that can help you feel steadier inside and out.

PSYCHOTHERAPY FEES AND POLICIES
PROFESSIONAL FEES: Individual psychotherapy sessions are $265-$300/week.
INSURANCE: I am an out-of-network provider. I will provide an invoice for you to submit for reimbursement from your health care insurance company. Many clients have out-of-network benefits and receive significant reimbursement from their insurance provider. I recommend that you contact your insurance provider to determine what your benefits may be.
TELEHEALTH/VIRTUAL THERAPY: Sessions will be held via phone or video. I currently provide sessions for California residents only.
CANCELLATIONS AND MISSED APPOINTMENTS: Your designated session is your financial responsibility; therefore you agree to pay for your appointment, for the duration of our therapeutic arrangement, regardless of whether you choose to come. You are able to “make up” for cancelled appointments within the week before, during, or after the date of your absence, if our schedules align. I will make every effort to find a time for you. You are allotted one “free” cancellation per year for each time that you attend per week. (For example, if you attend therapy twice per week, you are given two “free” cancellations.) You are not required to pay for sessions that I cancel. I will make every effort to alert you of my planned vacation times in advance. In order to reschedule your session, you must give 24-hours notice, otherwise you are responsible for your fee and I cannot reschedule the cancelled appointment.
If you cancel your appointment, you will be charged by end of the day of the canceled appointment.
GTH OF TREATMENT: According to the American Psychology Association(APA), the length of treatment for psychological problems will necessarily vary from one individual to another. However, acute difficulties usually require fewer treatment sessions than do chronic conditions.
Length of Treatment Recent research indicates that on average 12 to 18 sessions are required for 50 percent of clients to recover as indicated by self-reported symptom measures. There are a growing number of specific treatment models of moderate duration (e.g., 12 to 16 weekly sessions) that have been scientifically shown to result in clinically significant improvements. In practice, clients and therapists sometimes prefer to continue treatment over longer periods (e.g., 20 to 30 sessions over six months), to achieve more complete symptom remission and to feel confident in the skills needed to maintain treatment progress.
