Ready to break the pattern of

shrinking to be loved?

Therapy for high-achieving Black women in Georgia & Florida who are exhausted from holding it all together.

You look strong on paper but feel exhausted inside — carrying relationships, expectations, and everyone else's emotions. You make the decisions, hold the plans together, and keep the peace, quietly wondering when it'll be your turn to fall apart a little. If you're tired of being "fine," you're in the right place.

Have you ever thought…

  • You've started to wonder why you're anxious when "everything is fine."

  • “I know I need boundaries, but I feel guilty.”

  • “Why do I always fall for the one who doesn’t love me back?”

  • “I’ve accomplished so much, but I still don’t feel fulfilled.

  • “I’m the strong one for everyone else… but I don’t feel safe falling apart.”

  • “I’m always the one showing up for others, but when I need something... crickets.”

  • “When will it be my turn?

Helping women trace insecure attachment, people-pleasing patterns back to where they started — usually a family system that taught you to keep the peace instead of boundaries. Maybe a father who never made room for your feelings. Maybe a mother who modeled silence instead of voice. You learned to shrink before you ever got the chance to practice being seen.

Using attachment theory, emotionally focused therapy, and narrative work, I help you understand that pattern, find your voice, and build relationships — romantic, familial, and with yourself — that don't require you to disappear to be loved.

I work with a small caseload of private-pay clients because this work deserves real attention. If you're looking for therapy that will go deeper than coping skills but calls you to experience peace and connection, let's talk.

If you're reading this thinking "that's me" — it's not random.

It's a wound with a name, and you're allowed to set it down. I'd be honored to help you find your voice.

DISCOVER YOUR INNER “BEAUTI”

Why Beauti is Spelled With an I

We spell the word beauty as “beauti” with an I as our mission is to decolonize beauty standards that leave us feeling excluded, rejected and undervalued. Decolonizing beauty standards acknowledges the harmful impact of Eurocentric ideals that have historically marginalized and excluded individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, body shapes, and skin tones. By embracing a broader range of beauty, we can create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

Further, unrealistic beauty standards can contribute to poor body image, low self-esteem, and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. By challenging these standards and promoting body positivity, we can support you in developing healthier relationships with your body and improving your overall well-being.
