Bruised Not Broken Therapy was born out of the lack of Afrocentric based psychotherapy that allowed people of color to embrace their journey of life through the context of color. HIV, substance abuse, mental health and the denial of the experience of being a person of color continues to plague communities of color, as we still have yet to talk about these experiences.
I am a warm, empathetic therapist who values collaboration and authenticity. I take a practical, solution-oriented approach while honoring your unique experiences and perspective. I believe that meaningful change happens when you feel seen, understood, and supported, and I aim to provide tools and strategies that help you express yourself, communicate confidently, and engage fully in life. I meet clients where they are and work alongside them to build confidence, self-awareness, and balance.
Welcome! Your decision to seek support is a courageous step, and I would be honored to guide and support you on your journey.
I am Licensed Professional Counselor who has 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My background includes specialized training in EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) which enables me to bring innovative approaches to our work together. I utilize a diverse array of therapeutic techniques, including CBT, strengths-based relational approaches, and person-centered therapy.
Because we are relational beings, I believe it’s important to express how we may align. As a human, I can relate to experiences of grief from losing a parent, the challenges of being a parent, navigating life in a blended family, and the impact of childhood trauma.
I am a therapist, queer woman, sister, friend. When I’ve needed help, it’s been hard to find the type of support I need. So, I’ve dedicated my career to being that person for others. I'm glad you are here, and open to getting help. I work with individuals age 14+ on depression, anxiety, and identity. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ communities, and also have experience treating eating disorders.
I have experience working with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma/PTSD, racial and sexual identity, career concerns, OCD, and relationship conflicts.
I am excited about the opportunity to help you achieve your goals and improve your mental wellness. I am a kink-allied, sex-positive, and gender-affirming therapist.
