Worry, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Anger, Depression and Confusion make life feel overwhelming and out of control. I can help you find out what's going on with your relationships and to name your deeper truth and find new ways to work through issues that come up. I believe life challenges us to grow, and feeling stuck, struggling with emotions or communication, or feeling out of sync creates the desire to improve and grow. So, whether you feel confused, anxious, sad, fearful, or angry in your life and your relationships, I can teach you the tools needed so you can find out what it's like to live your most authentic life.

I view our life journey as a collection of experiences that influence who we are and how we see the world. We often experience (and can expect) to deal with hurdles and roadblocks that can make some days unbearable. This is where counseling comes in. I love joining alongside others and empowering them to keep making steps when they don’t think they can. I will always admit to any client that counseling is hard and applaud anyone who takes the step to reflect inward and grow. My hope and main priority are to create a space where ALL individuals feel safe enough to be their authentic selves.

Supervision available. I offer an Afrocentric view of psychotherapy coupled with honesty, humor, and compassion. I believe in the potential to coexist with the events of the past while fueling the future. Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born from the lack of Afrocentric-based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their life journey through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health, and the denial of the everyday experience of being a person of color continue to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to discuss these experiences.

Traveling through your journey in life is a powerful experience with unexpected bumps in the road, often creating feelings of uncertainty and self-doubt. When we experience thoughts and feelings that are uncomfortable such as depression, anxiety, stress, and changes in mood, we tend to also feel it physically in our bodies through lethargy, pain, and changes in sleep and weight. Inversely, what we put in our bodies often times impacts how we feel emotionally, without often times even knowing it. Using a mind-body therapeutic approach allows you to identify skills for a means of transformation in your emotional and physical life.
