Support for Black Women
"You carry so much— often silently." for too long." on your own." |
Being a Black woman in today’s world means navigating layers of stress, cultural expectations, and societal pressures. Whether it’s at work, within family systems, or in the broader culture, the challenges are real. You’re often expected to be strong, to keep going, to care for others before yourself. But beneath the surface, you may be holding pain, exhaustion, self-doubt, or a deep sense of being unseen. You may feel like you have to hold everything together, show up for everyone else, and stay strong—even when you’re running on empty. And in quiet moments, maybe you’ve found yourself thinking things like:
“I carry everything, and no one sees I’m tired.”
“I don’t know who I am beyond what I do for others.”
“I’ve held it in for so long, I don’t know where to begin.”
“I’m always proving myself—and still not enough.”
- “I give too much of myself”
“My family ignores boundaries. I don’t want to be the problem.”
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep navigating it alone either.
How I Can Help
As a therapist, I offer a grounded and affirming space where you can explore the roots of your anxiety and stress. Together, we’ll identify your patterns, unpack the internal and external pressures you face, and build tools that actually work for you. Whether your stress stems from perfectionism, cultural expectations, trauma, or simply doing too much for too long, we’ll work at your pace and honour your lived experience. I use approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused (SFT) therapy and Mindfulness, and to help you connect with yourself and find relief.
