Racial Identity Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

My ideal client is someone who is seeking support and guidance on their journey towards improved mental health, personal growth, and overall well-being. They may be dealing with a range of issues, such as: trauma and healing, racial identity challenges, stress and anxiety, personal growth and development. Their goals may include emotional resilience, trauma processing, cognitive shifts, narrative transformation, and mindfulness and awareness.

In addition to regular services, I am now accepting short-term therapy clients for issues related to anxiety, stress, or life transitions. We all have the ability to grow and to reach our fullest potential in life. However, sometimes support is needed as we navigate life’s challenges and changes. As a Counseling Psychologist operating within a multiculturally focused liberation framework, I am committed to helping my clients realize the best version of themselves while honoring their identities, culture, life experiences, and values. You matter, you are worthy of wellness, and your authentic self is enough.

Life is full of unexpected changes that can leave us feeling stressed, anxious, and sad. During these challenging times, it can be really helpful to talk about our experiences, understand them better, and find ways to heal. I specialize in helping everyday people like you navigate life's ups and downs. Whether you're struggling with relationships, dealing with anxiety or depression, coping with past traumas, or looking for a safe space to manage your emotions, I'm here to support you. Together, we can work on finding ways to cope with stress, develop self-awareness, address unresolved issues, and build healthier relationships.

From the outside, you seem to have it all. You are highly accomplished, driven, and reliable. You have what others call a “successful life,” but the truth is you don’t feel the same on the inside. You always worry about the worst things that can happen. Your thoughts deplete & deprive you of joy. You try to keep it all together, but despite your best efforts, thoughts leave you feeling exhausted, unable to focus, and unmotivated and snap at the people you love. You have given so much to everyone, and your needs always come last. Not anymore. You are finally ready to go from merely existing to flourishing.

You have to be strong. All. The. Damn. Time. And that’s just become too much. Even for you. You have BIG feelings and may even cry when you’re alone, but hide them so the world can’t use them against you. You’re exhausted. But you can’t slow down for fear of what may happen if painful memories overwhelm you. Your internal voice is relentlessly mean and you want to shut it up, but you don’t even know if it’s possible to truly accept yourself. You know far too many people have too much access to your physical space or emotional energy, but you learned this is how to keep people around and saying “no” leaves you alone or rejected.

What I bring to you as a therapist is… a calm nature, active listening, a nonjudgmental attitude, and a supportive relationship. As a therapist I understand that this is your journey, and I am here to be your sounding board. My goal is to foster effective self-reflection which will lead to finding personal tools to achieve your goals. Coming from a multi-cultural background it has allowed me to see things in all different lights and spaces. It has allowed me to observe and be present in ways not many people get to experience.

I've been fortune to work with motivated, aware, brave, and honest clients that have inspired me to grow in my therapeutic approach. These attributes don't hide their depression, anxiety or even post traumatic experiences (ie childhood neglect and abuse; sexual abuse, racial or religious abuse, or domestic violence) instead, they use the pain to transverse fear.

For the longest time, you prided yourself on being the strong and supportive friend. You are the one that everyone comes to when they need support, the one that always shows up. But these days, being it all and doing it all has left you feeling drained. You feel resentful and more disconnected from others than ever. You know you cannot keep this up forever, but it feels impossible to find a therapist who truly comprehends that your unique lived experiences are deeply rooted in your various identities. You need a therapist who can understand and appreciate your needs but also your racial and ethnic identity as well.
