Your experience
of this world
is real.
Somatic therapy that names racism, white supremacy, and their everyday violences — and then goes deeper, into your body, your lineage, and the reclamation of a self the world has tried to diminish.
I am Black. I hold this work from the inside.
As a Black-bodied therapist, I don't require you to prove your pain or translate your experience. I come to this work with embodied understanding.The exhaustion of racism. The complexity of cultural identity. The weight of what was inherited — and the possibility of setting some of it down.

Racism is not a perception.
It is a system — and it lives in your body.
Therapy that names the world as it is.
This isn't therapy that asks you to find inner peace while ignoring outer reality. It holds both — the systemic truth of what you're navigating, and the deeply personal work of healing inside of it.
Processing Racism & Racial Trauma
The cumulative impact of racism — in workplaces, healthcare, relationships, daily life — is a legitimate form of trauma. We name it, we trace it through your body, and we process it with somatic care.
Naming White Supremacy & Systemic Oppression
We call oppression by its name — including the subtle, structural, and internalized forms that are hardest to see and most corrosive to the self. Clarity is part of healing.
Microaggressions & Their Cumulative Weight
Each comment, each assumption, each moment of being overlooked or over-scrutinized — we understand that these aren't small moments. They accumulate, and they land in the body.
Somatic Processing of Racial Stress
Using Somatic Experiencing (SE), we track the body's response to racial stress — the bracing, the holding, the hypervigilance — and create conditions for genuine release and regulation.
Ancestral Trauma & Legacy Burdens
What was survived, endured, or never healed by those who came before us — we acknowledge its presence in our bodies and our patterns, and we begin the work of honoring it without being bound by it.
Cultural Identity & Integration
Navigating the distance between cultures — where you were raised, where your family comes from, where you live now — and building an identity that holds all of these without requiring you to choose.
We name what others call subtle.
Good therapy for the Global Majority doesn't tiptoe around systemic realities in the name of "staying neutral." Neutrality in the face of oppression is not a therapeutic virtue — it is a failure to witness.
We name what happened. We trace where it landed. And we do the work — in your body, your relationships, and your sense of self — to move through it rather than around it.
Code-switching until you don't recognize yourself — this is not adaptation. It is survival, and it has a cost.
Being the only one in the room — consistently, across years — is a form of structural isolation that registers in the body as threat.
"You're so articulate" is not a compliment. We understand its function, and we name it clearly.
The anger you feel at injustice is not disproportionate. It is a reasonable response to an unreasonable reality.
Hypervigilance in predominantly white spaces is not anxiety — it is a calibrated response to a history of real harm.
Internalized racism is a wound inflicted by a system — not a character flaw. We approach it with care, not shame.
"The body keeps the score — and the body is where healing begins."
Tracking sensation, movement, breath — meeting the nervous system where racial stress has embedded itself.
Not erasure of experience — but completion. Movement through, rather than around.
Racism doesn't only live in the mind.
The chronic vigilance of navigating a racist world — the bracing, the holding, the readiness for harm — is stored in the body. Talk therapy alone often can't reach it.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-centered approach that tracks physical sensation as a doorway to processing trauma. For racial stress and racial trauma, this means working with the actual physiological imprint of what you've carried — gently, at the pace your nervous system can tolerate.
Learn More About This Approach →You carry more than your own story.
What our ancestors lived through — enslavement, displacement, survival, resilience, loss — does not disappear with time. What is survived by one generation can be transmitted to the next, in the body, in patterns, in ways of moving through the world.
Legacy burdens are the weights we carry that were never ours to begin with — the grief, the fear, the vigilance that was protective then and constraining now. Part of this work is learning to honor what came before while releasing what no longer serves the living.
This is not about "fixing" the past. It is about being present to it fully enough that it stops running your present.
What Legacy Burdens Look Like
Unexplained grief, fear of visibility, chronic hypervigilance, shame that feels older than this lifetime — these may be inherited emotional patterns that deserve witnessing, not pathologizing.
Ancestral Resilience
The inheritance is not only pain. Strength, creativity, community, and survival wisdom were passed down too — and reclaiming this lineage is part of the healing.
Cultural Reclamation
For those whose culture was disrupted, erased, or separated from them — we explore what it means to return, to integrate, to celebrate what was carried and what can be found again.
Culture is not incidental to healing — it is central to it.
Healing cannot happen at the expense of cultural identity. This work honors where you come from, celebrates what has been maintained, and holds complexity without asking you to choose.
Cultural Identity Across Contexts
Navigating multiple cultural contexts — diaspora identity, immigrant experience, living between worlds — and building an integrated self that doesn't require leaving any part of you behind.
Community & Collective Healing
Individual healing doesn't happen in isolation from community. We explore your relationship to your communities — chosen, inherited, cultural, diaspora — and what belonging means for you.
Joy, Pride & Cultural Celebration
Not just survival — thriving. Claiming the richness of cultural heritage, the beauty of collective memory, and the joy of identity not despite the work, but through it.
I hold this work as a Black-bodied woman.
This is not intellectual understanding from a distance. I live this. I understand what it means to navigate whiteness in professional spaces, to carry the weight of representation, to feel the cumulative fatigue of a world that doesn't always see you fully or safely.
I bring that embodied knowledge into this work — not as a matching grievance, but as a foundation that means you don't have to spend your sessions proving that what you experience is real. It is real. We know that, and we can get to work.
Begin with a Conversation ↗"When you walk in here, you don't have to translate your experience. You just have to bring it."
The labor of explaining racism to a white therapist — of managing their discomfort, choosing words carefully, softening your truth — is a labor that should never happen inside a healing space. It won't happen here.
