Therapy for Goal-Driven Black Women
For Black Women, there is a direct connection between high achievement and stress. The pressure to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders has been placed there by society a long time ago. Black Women hold other people’s stuff and their expectations, their own personal stuff and expectations, personal guilt and pressure, and do so in silence in the name of strength and resilience, while never letting them see you sweat.
In individual therapy, I can help you learn to handle your business, work, and other roles and responsibilities, while teaching you to ask for help and care for your mental health and wellness. The reality is, “Black does crack”—Marita Golden.

Attend your intake. This will be a 60-minute session, so that we can learn more about what’s going on in your life right now and identify ways to help. We’ll create some goals and that will give us direction for therapy moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy is a process. It starts with a consultation call to determine if we are a good fit for each other. Thereafter, your intake session is scheduled and there will be questions. It is designed to gather as much background information as possible to help me figure out what is going on and how I might be able to help. You might not feel better right away, but the initial goal is to connect and build, so that we are able to work together in meeting your goals.
