About

It’s 8 p.m., and you’re just leaving the office – again. You’re tired of being the last one in the building while still feeling like you have to prove yourself. It’s exhausting. The pressure builds every day: the subtle racial dynamics, the comments you swallow, the worry that any misstep will confirm what others already assume. You push harder, work weekends, scroll late into the night, and call it “rest.” Your body protests with tension in your chest and stomach each morning, yet you keep going. At home, you snap without meaning to, then drown in guilt. You’re running on fumes, wondering how long you can keep this pace. View 4 Photos I offer a collaborative, culturally attuned space where your needs are seen and honored. Using CBT, EMDR, psychodynamic, and somatic strategies, we’ll untangle old patterns, shift unhelpful beliefs, and strengthen emotional resilience. You’ll learn to take care of yourself in ways that make you feel calmer and more compassionate toward yourself.
