“Hurt people, hurt people.”

This is a saying that you may have heard; I believe it.

Although not always intentional or malicious, people who are hurting, hurt others. To upend this cyclical pattern, we must engage in the healing process. Whether you realize it or not, you have experienced things that may have impacted you negatively. They may still be impacting you negatively. You may not be aware of those feelings, you’ve bottled them up, or you haven’t felt safe and comfortable sharing them. That can be why you’re being harmful or being harmed, knowingly or unknowingly. That can be why you haven’t been able to become the person, partner, friend, parent, sibling, employee, etc., that you want to be. It’s not easy, but you have to address those feelings. It’s how we can heal.

There is healing power in talking, which is one of the reasons why I’m a therapist. I work with Black and Brown people, helping them address those feelings to grow into whom they want to be and who people in their lives need them to be. I provide a safe space for people to process feelings related to those negative experiences. I help people uncover and become aware of emotions, understand their feelings, and work toward behavior change.

I bring my whole Black self to sessions. I share my personal experiences if they can benefit you. I don’t operate in a judgment-free environment. If I think you did something wrong, I’ll tell you why and work with you on how to change. I work from an equity lens and believe in accountability.

You may be hurting (we all are). I’m glad you’re here. Let’s engage in healing for you and for the people you care about.

Healed people, heal people; let’s engage in some healing together!
