What I Help With

i. Imposter syndrome & self-doubt

The inner voice that says you do not belong here, despite the credentials and the work. Despite people telling you that you are doing great. You suspect that one day someone will figure out that you have been pretending all along. We work on where that voice came from, what it costs you, and how to live a meaningful life without letting it run the show.

ii. Identity & belonging

Being Black, queer, or both in a society that disregards you and asks you to work twice as hard for the same recognition. The work of code-switching. The exhaustion of being the only one in the room. The feeling of not being sure where you can fully exhale. Therapy is one of those places. Together we work on what it looks like to build a self that is not defined by other people’s expectations of you.

iii. High-achiever pressure & burnout

The exhaustion of always being on. The guilt of slowing down. The fear that if you stop performing at the level you have set, everything you have built will fall apart. We look at what is actually driving the pace, what it is costing you, and what a sustainable rhythm could look like without you losing the parts of your life that matter most.

iv. Anxiety & overwhelm

When your brain will not stop running worst-case scenarios. When small decisions feel huge. When the to-do list grows faster than you can move through it. We work on what the anxiety is signaling, what helps you come back to the moment you are actually in, and how to make decisions from a place that is not panic.

v. Life transitions

New job, new city, new relationship, new chapter, new phase of identity. The strange grief and excitement of letting one version of your life end so the next can begin. We make space for both.

vi. Women’s issues

Navigating careers, relationships, family of origin, expectations of what a woman in your position should look like, sound like, want. We make space for what you actually want, not just what is being asked of you.

How We Work Together

I work primarily from a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy lens. SFBT means we spend less time excavating what is wrong and more time identifying what is already working in your life, then building on it. You are already doing more than you give yourself credit for, even on the hardest days. We find what works and build from there, together. SFBT is by design a shorter course of therapy than open-ended approaches. For most clients a typical course runs six to twelve weeks, though it varies based on what you are bringing in and what you want from the work.

Sessions are collaborative. Without judgment, and without turning your experience into a diagnosis. I bring the questions, the framework, and a forward-looking orientation. You bring what is on your mind that week. We move at a pace that respects what you are carrying.
