Many women of color carry trauma that was never given language, safety, or space to heal. You may appear strong and high-functioning on the outside, yet feel emotionally overwhelmed, hyper-alert, disconnected, or exhausted beneath the surface. If you’ve experienced childhood trauma, relational wounds, chronic stress, or emotionally unsafe environments, your nervous system may still be operating in survival mode.

My work is centered on supporting women of color who are navigating trauma. I understand the cultural, generational, and systemic layers that often complicate healing, including the pressure to stay resilient, suppress emotions, or “push through” pain without support.

Therapy with me is warm, grounding, and culturally attuned, while also being honest and purposeful. I help clients make sense of trauma responses such as defensiveness, anxiety, emotional shutdown, hypervigilance, people-pleasing, depression, or difficulty trusting others—not as personal flaws, but as learned survival strategies. Together, we work to gently retrain the nervous system, strengthen emotional regulation, and rebuild a sense of safety within yourself and in relationships.
