Eunoia HTS is a black owned therapy service started by 2 women who saw a need for an increase in Mental Health services in their community.
Have you ever wondered how it would feel to have a space to express yourself freely without judgment & criticism? Imagine having a caring & compassionate ear to listen & guide you through your darkest times. We've all had moment's where we've felt hopeless, afraid and out of answers. Moments where we are unsure of which decision to make or who to trust. Have you ever experienced depression or stress to the point where you felt totally incapable of managing your life and the stressors that come along with it? How about anxiety, racing thoughts & difficulty with simply being in your own skin...sound familiar?

One of my biggest struggles in life has been finding ways to show up authentically. As a Black, non-binary and queer person, finding spaces that validate core aspects of my identity have been challenging. It’s an honor to hold space for individuals who are struggling to find their voice and place in the world. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where you feel accepted, respected, and understood. I enjoy working with individuals from marginalized and underserved communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+). My practice is intersectional, collaborative, based in a social justice framework, and sex positive.

My clinical work is not only influenced by empirical research, but also by my experiences as a Black, first generation East African-American and Muslim woman.
Welcome to a space where you are seen, heard, and valued. I work with women who are experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and issues related to relationships, friendships, career, life transitions, self esteem, perfectionism, burn out, people pleasing, and personal growth. Are you finding yourself struggling to manage your emotions lately? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you? If you find yourself self-sacrificing, feeling overwhelmed by the multiple roles you juggle, or just seeking to unpack some things, it might be time to consider therapy. Taking this first step is an act of self-love.

I specialize in working with busy Moms and Single-parents struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, as well as couples (dating, premarital, married) and Black men.
Do you feel life is spiraling out of control? Or you have to be everything to everyone else but feel alone when you’re in need? Are you having trouble meeting expectations? Or saying “No" then resenting saying yes? Do you put everyone before you and then don't have enough time for you or your dreams? Are you feeling “stuck” after giving so much, then to realize you’re not making progress in your life? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck.

Often times when people come to therapy, what they've already tried hasn't quite made them feel, think, or behave in the ways they'd hope. Regardless, people typically already have some means for dealing with challenges they encounter. Therapy is a place for expanding your approaches & gaining new tools to help you navigate your current predicament(s). If you're hoping to change the ways you're feeling, thinking, and/or responding to a stressor, I believe that you will find my therapeutic approach meaningful.
