Black and African American Therapists in Waldorf, MD

Are you suffering in silence? Are there days when you do not feel like yourself, but you find the self-motivation to complete your daily activities? Are you feeling worried, fearful, or overwhelmed? Do you have so many concerns that you do not know where to start? Is your faith being challenged? These scenarios can trigger changes in the way that you think, feel, and act. As women, we carry the weight of the past, the family, employment, and other obligations. As a result, this can lead to feeling unfulfilled. How would your life be different if you had the opportunity to discuss the things that are troubling you?

I work with people seeking more out of life than the template that our mainstream society has created for us. I work with people who are waking up to self and are eager to know more about who they are as individuals. They have realized that the rules that others have set for them were well intentioned, but are not custom made for their experience, so they are ready to take the journey of self-discovery!

Many of us need help from time to time to see ourselves more clearly and to develop a new way of living fuller lives. Now is the time to take the first step in your journey to personal growth, wellness and stability in your life. Allow me to encourage and empower you with tools and coping skills necessary to navigate your life's challenges, so that you can lead a life that's more mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually balanced.

Do you or someone you love struggle to stop using substances? Having difficulty coping with the "new norm" dealing with COVID? Do you feel so overwhelmed that everything is helplessly mundane?

With the trying times we now face daily, you may feel like many people have lost their way. The quiet place we used to gather our thoughts and plan for the future seems to be lite years in the past. It can be hard to listen to what our brains tell us when working, caring for others, or distracted, besides the daily struggle of just living. The “New norm” is a struggle that consumes us daily. We’re so used to multi-tasking that we don’t give time and space to sit down and reflect. Scheduling time for yourself is going to be a more critical component of your wellness.

The failed or lack of relationship/s? The hopelessness? The unexplained sadness? The lack of support? School Stress? Well sometimes growing up or even life can be very overwhelming and the desperation to feel better as you navigate through can leave you feeling stuck and lost on your next decision/move.
