Therapy for Black Women in Texas

You’ve been the strong one your whole life.

Strong for your family. Strong at work. Strong when it was the only option. But underneath all that strength is grief, rage, exhaustion — and a deep need to be held. I offer therapy for Black women navigating identity, family dynamics, cultural pressure, and emotional survival.

What It Feels Like

You might be carrying more than anyone sees:

  • You feel like you’re performing in every space — even in your closest relationships

  • You were raised to keep things private, stay composed, and hold it down

  • You feel pressure to represent, explain, or educate — even when you’re tired

  • You’ve struggled with boundaries, burnout, or being everything to everyone

  • You wonder who you’d be if you could just rest

You don’t have to “be strong” here. Therapy can be a space where you’re fully human — messy, soft, angry, grieving, whatever you need to be. No code-switching. No “strong Black woman” script. Just you.

How I Help

What therapy looks like for Black women:

  • We talk about race, culture, and family without tiptoeing

  • We explore the ways you’ve internalized pressure to perform or protect others

  • We process experiences of invisibility, rage, guilt, or silence — and how they live in your body

  • We name and work through generational trauma, church culture wounds, and the impact of systemic racism

  • We hold space for activism burnout, workplace stress, and being “the only one” in so many rooms

  • We work on identity, boundaries, and emotional freedom — not just surface-level stress

Why Work With Me

This isn’t worksheet therapy.

I’m a Black therapist who gets what it means to carry so much while being told to stay quiet, stay composed, or stay grateful. My approach is psychodynamic, relational, and grounded in AEDP — which means we go deep, gently. This work is about more than coping. It’s about remembering who you were before you had to shrink.

I pay close attention to how you show up emotionally, relationally, and even in the therapy room itself. We work with the parts of you that have learned to shut down, smile through the pain, or over-function to stay safe. If you’ve had therapy before that felt too polite, too vague, or too shallow… you’re in the right place.
