Online Therapy for Black Women & Women of Color
In California, Georgia, & Florida
Therapy to help professional Women of Color step into their power and purpose by cultivating a life of balance and meaning.
Have you struggled to feel like yourself in a world that doesn’t embrace who you are?
Maybe you have struggled with being the only black professional in the room, felt the need to code switch to be respected, or gone above and beyond what is expected of your white counterparts because you feel responsible for the future success and/or access of the next Person of Color on your shoulders.
You have noticed that your success has afforded you great opportunities, but it has come at a cost:
You struggle to create a work/life balance because you must be the best.
You put pressure on yourself to be perfect because you feel undeserving of the opportunities you have been given.
You feel the need to hold back your thoughts and opinions because you fear how they will be received.
You fear being seen as a “sell out” because you desire more for yourself.
It may seem like a stretch, but you can embrace what makes you uniquely you and show up authentically in every area of your life.
Online therapy for Women of Color can help you:
Understand that your value and purpose lie in who you are not in what you do.
Explore how growing up or existing in primarily white spaces has impacted your identity and emotional wellbeing.
Increase your confidence in your ability to handle the daily stress of being a Woman of Color in the world today.
Learn to set boundaries with yourself and others so you can feel good about your decisions.
You don’t have to struggle alone. I can help you on this journey because I have been there, and I deal with it too. I know what it is like to question whether you are doing enough, while you are already doing more than most. I understand your need to question your identity and make yourself small to make others more comfortable. I know what it feels to think everything you do is under a microscope and not feel confident in all that you bring to the table.
My goal is to help you step into all that you are called to be without question or doubt. My hope is that you will be able to deeply know that there is space for you just as you are. I will be with you every step of the way, tailoring each step of your healing journey to your unique experiences, circumstances, and needs.
It’s okay to acknowledge the stress that comes with being a black woman in today’s world. Not wanting to be seen as “weak” can keep you in the cycle of constantly needing to do and be everything. You deserve a break, the ability to live a full and meaningful life, and embrace your worth and value because of who you are.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Within our first few sessions we will take the time to explore your unique experience, discuss what has brought you to therapy, and what you would like to accomplish during our work together. We will discuss the things that have impacted you, known and unknown, and help you gain a new understanding of those things. Our sessions will equip you with the tools you need to confidently move through your life and tackle the problems that life brings. This means that I will work to gently challenge problem narratives keeping you stuck so you can live the life you envisioned.
-
How long you are in therapy really depends on your needs and what you are trying to accomplish. I have found that patterns that have existed for a longer period take a bit longer to address. This is because it is not just the one experience we are addressing, but also the other experiences that are connected to it. As a result, more recent isolated problems are more quickly addressed and mastered. Whether you are dealing with problems rooted in the past or more recent problems, my goal is to help you feel confident in your skills and abilities.

While I can’t make any guarantees, I know that therapy with the right therapist can create meaningful and lasting changes in your life.

This is why I offer free consultations to make sure that I am the right therapist to help you.
