About The Body Place Mental Health Counseling P.C.
I help Black women and women of color heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves. Many of the clients I work with struggle with emotional eating, disordered eating, body shame, or feeling disconnected from who they truly are. My goal is to create a safe, affirming, and culturally grounded space where you can release the pressure to “be strong” and begin honoring your needs with compassion instead of criticism.
With 12 years of clinical experience and 5 years in private practice, I integrate DBT, CBT, IFS, and mindfulness to support your healing from both a clinical and holistic perspective. My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and collaborative — rooted in understanding how culture, identity, and life experiences shape our relationship with food, body, and self-worth.
I’m passionate about helping women unlearn perfectionism, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim the peace and confidence that diet culture and societal expectations have taken away. Whether you’re ready to address disordered eating, emotional eating, or simply want to feel at home in your body, therapy with me is about reconnecting to yourself — your truth, your wholeness, and your power.
