“Wait… you mean therapy doesn’t come with a magic wand?” 🪄😅 I know—I’m just as disappointed as you are.

A lot of people think therapy is about showing up, talking to an all-knowing expert, and walking away with life-changing answers. But here’s the truth: you are the expert of your own life.👏🏼

I don’t have all the answers. What I do have is the training, tools, and compassion to help you sort through the noise, connect to your inner wisdom, and make choices that feel true to you.

Therapy isn’t about someone else fixing your life—it’s about learning how to trust yourself as the guide. It’s a nuanced, powerful process. And it’s absolutely worth it. 👍🏽✨️

If you're ready to take that first step, I’m accepting new clients and would love to support you. 😊

In this clip from the Melanated S*x Expo in Feb 2025 with , I’m talking on a panel about some of the unique challenges that come up when polyamorous people date monogamous partners, a dynamic often referred to as a mono-poly relationship.

Sometimes, people enter with good intentions and curiosity, but later realize they’ve bitten off more than they can emotionally chew. Other times, monogamous partners are upfront about wanting more and hope we’ll change our minds as the relationship deepens. And when we don’t, things get messy.

For me, I've found that when I follow through on all the things I said I’d do and all the things I said about who I am, it can catch people off guard. Especially when they’re not used to partners being clear, communicative and self-aware from the start.

Dating across different relationship orientations can work, but it takes a LOT of honesty, emotional maturity, and mutual respect. And unfortunately, that’s not always there.

If you’re navigating a mono-poly relationship and it feels confusing or painful, therapy can help. As a therapist who specializes in polyamory and ethical non-monogamy, I support individuals and couples in all kinds of relationships—especially the ones that don’t fit the traditional mold.

"I'm in a relationship with myself and the rest of yall my side piece." 😂👌🏽💯❤️

Solo polyamory is a form of ethical non-monogamy where a person chooses to maintain autonomy and independence while engaging in multiple loving and consensual relationships. Solo poly people may not have (or desire) a primary partner or may choose not to blend their lives structurally through things like cohabitation, shared finances, or marriage. Instead, they prioritize self-connection, freedom, and intentional relationship design.

People may choose solo polyamory because they value independence, are focused on personal growth, or simply don’t feel aligned with traditional relationship models. And that’s the beautiful thing about love and relationships- there are so many ways to do it!

If you’re curious about different relationship structures and want to learn more about polyamory and ethical non-monogamy, check out my Love Without Limits pre-recorded workshop on my website. You’ll also get access to the chart I reference in this clip, which outlines a wide range of relationship styles to help you find what resonates with you as a unique individual.

It’s easy to fall into the habit of asking, “Are you mad at me?”—especially when something feels off in a relationship. But that question can sometimes feel like blame, even when you don’t mean it that way. It can put your partner on the defensive or suggest they’ve done something wrong just for feeling a certain way.

Instead, try gentler, more open phrases like:

“Hey, how are you feeling?”
“I wanted to check in—what’s going on?”
“I’ve been feeling a little off—how are you doing?”
“My brain is telling me this story that you might be upset with me. Is that true or just my own worry?”

These alternatives help create space for honest communication without pressure or assumption. It’s all about connection, not correction. 💜

Let’s normalize healthy check-ins. 💙

It’s normal to worry about what’s ahead. But anxiety often stems from trying to predict, prevent, or perfect every possible outcome. The truth is, the more we try to control the uncontrollable, the more overwhelmed we feel.

Real peace comes from grounding ourselves in the present moment—focusing on what we can control, and learning to release what we can’t. That doesn’t mean giving up—it means letting go with intention.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, you’re not alone. Therapy can help you develop tools to manage anxious thoughts, build resilience, and feel more at ease in your own mind. Everyone can benefit from having a safe, supportive space to process and grow.

If you’re ready, I’m here. Click the link in my bio to learn more about my service offerings.

Together, we can heal. 💜

Why do some words hurt more than others? 💔 Let’s talk about it.

Maybe when you heard me say “you’re stupid” or “you’ll never amount to anything” in this video, it didn’t really hit you. And that makes sense—it was just an example, you know I don’t mean it, and we don’t have a personal relationship. But imagine someone you care about saying those exact same words. Now it lands differently. Now it stings. Context matters.

The deeper point still stands: When someone’s words hurt us, it’s often because there's a part of us that fears it might be true, or because it touches on a value we deeply care about.

If someone says something that doesn’t fit how we see ourselves, we usually brush it off. But if it hits a nerve, that’s often a signal worth paying attention to.

It’s also important to distinguish between frustration and hurt:
• Frustration might happen when you know a comment isn’t true, but it’s annoying that someone thinks that way.
• Hurt usually happens when a comment touches on a deeper fear, insecurity, or value you hold close.

When you feel triggered, it’s an opportunity to ask yourself:
• Is this reaction pointing to something that’s out of alignment with who I want to be?
• Is this feedback something that (even if it was delivered poorly) could help me grow?

Being open to reflection—not just defensiveness—is key to personal growth. Sometimes uncomfortable comments give us valuable information about the kind of person we want to become.

Therapy can be a powerful space to unpack these reactions, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with your true self.

If you're ready to dive deeper, I’d love to support you. 💜

Women, if you’ve ever felt numb in your body, uncomfortable in your skin, or like your body isn’t really yours—you’re not alone. So many of us carry shame, disconnection, and pressure to be everything to everyone… while staying small, quiet, and in control.

But what if your body could be a place of safety, confidence, and joy again?
That’s what Soul Pole is all about. It’s a therapeutic movement workshop that blends guided pole-based movement, mindfulness, and body-based healing to help you reconnect with your body and your power. It’s not about performance—it’s about presence. ✨️

This first cycle has been incredible, and the feedback I’ve received has been so affirming. I truly hope to offer it again. If you’re interested in joining the next round, you can click the link in my bio to join the waitlist and be the first to know when registration opens.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about finding you. It’s about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have been buried under old stories, survival patterns, and outdated beliefs. You’re not broken. You may just be outgrowing behaviors that once helped you cope but are no longer serving you.

I believe every person already carries deep inner wisdom—my job as a therapist is simply to help you tap into it, gently, and with care. We all need support sometimes, and there’s no shame in asking for help. 💜

If you’re feeling ready to explore, heal, and grow, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Give me a call. Together, we can heal. 💙
