In honor of Women’s Health Month, I’m honored to be invited by the Chicago Association of Black Social Workers to lead a special training and community discussion on what it means to birth while Black.
-
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), certified Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) provider, and a birth & postpartum doula trained in Perinatal Mental Health, I’ve made it my mission to support Black women and birthing people through culturally responsive, trauma-informed care.
-
Together, we’ll explore the role doulas play in improving birth outcomes, reducing disparities, and protecting the joy and power of the Black birthing experience.
-
This isn’t just a workshop—it’s a conversation rooted in healing, advocacy, and reclaiming our birth stories. 🖤

April Fools’ Day should be about laughter, not harm. While jokes can be fun, some pranks unintentionally hurt those facing real-life struggles. Mental health, pregnancy, and loss aren’t punchlines—they’re deeply personal experiences.

This year, let’s be mindful of how we bring humor into the day. Instead of jokes that could trigger pain, choose joy that uplifts. A kind word, a genuine laugh, or a moment of connection can go a long way.

Let’s celebrate humor that heals, not harms. 💚✨🫶🏽

I didn’t just become a doula—I answered a calling. 🌻✨

👶🏾 Why I Became a Doula:
I saw firsthand how Black birthing people are often unheard, unsupported, and left to navigate one of the most vulnerable times in their lives alone. I wanted to change that. Mental health and birthwork go hand in hand, and I knew I could bridge the gap between emotional well-being and maternal care.

🌱 What I Do Now:
As a full-spectrum doula and therapist who specializes in perinatal mental health, I support Black birthing individuals before, during, and after pregnancy—helping them feel mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for their journey. Whether it’s processing fears, advocating for better care, or simply holding space, my work is about more than birth—it’s about healing.

🎓 My Role as a Trainer & Guest Lecturer:
I now train and educate other doulas & professionals through GHI ( ), ensuring more birthworkers are equipped to offer trauma-informed, culturally responsive care.

💡 Why This Work Matters:
The intersection of therapy & doula support is where the magic happens. Supporting Black birthing individuals means addressing mental health, trauma, and systemic barriers while empowering them to trust their bodies and voices.

You are not alone in this. Life is full of transitions, challenges, and unspoken struggles, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Whether you’re adjusting to change, breaking generational cycles, balancing work and school, or battling self-doubt, therapy is a space for you to be seen, heard, and supported.

Healing isn’t just about surviving, it’s about thriving. It’s about unlearning what no longer serves you, giving yourself grace, and building the confidence to live fully.

Therapy isn’t just self-care; it’s self-transformation. Helping Humanity Heal is more than a practice—it’s a movement. My goal is to make mental health support accessible, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive.

At , we believe healing is a ripple effect—when one person heals, entire communities grow. This is about breaking cycles, redefining wellness, and ensuring Black individuals and families have the tools to thrive.

Here’s to healing 🫶🏽✨

Reminder: You don’t have to believe every thought you think. 💭

Sometimes, our minds tell us things that aren’t true—like “I’m not good enough,” “I’ll never succeed,” or “I always mess things up.” These kinds of thoughts can feel so real, but they’re often just fears or insecurities talking.

💡Here’s the good news: You don’t have to let those thoughts control you. The next time a negative thought pops up, try this:

1. Pause and notice the thought. Is it being helpful, or is it just tearing you down?
2. Ask yourself, “Is this 100% true?” Often, there’s no real evidence behind it.
3. Replace it with something more helpful. For example, instead of “I always fail,” try “I’ve struggled before, but I’m learning and growing.”

The way you talk to yourself matters. You deserve kindness and patience, even from yourself. 💛

Holiday Reminder: You don’t have to have it all together, and that’s okay. ✨

This season can bring joy for some and heaviness for others. If your holidays look different this year, you’re struggling mentally, or need extra space to take care of YOU — give yourself permission to honor that. 💛

Your well-being matters, and it’s okay to set boundaries, take time for yourself, and navigate this season in a way that feels best for you.

Fear can hold us back in ways we don’t always realize.
-
Whether it’s putting off your goals, waiting for the “perfect” time, prioritizing others over yourself, or feeling like life won’t work out in your favor — these fear-based behaviors can keep you stuck.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to stay there. Growth happens when you start naming those fears and taking small, brave steps toward change. 🌱

After just three weeks of transitioning into solo private practice, I was blessed with an incredible opportunity to present my first training under Helping Humanity Heal, PLLC! 🎉

Thank you to for inviting me to share insights on Family Management in the Postpartum Period—a topic close to my heart. 💕 It was such a fulfilling experience connecting with professionals and students to discuss ways to navigate their client’s postpartum journey with grace, resilience, and support.

This moment is a testament to stepping out on faith and pursuing passion-driven work. It’s been an amazing start to this new chapter, and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to empower others during such a transformative period in their lives. 🫶🏽✨

✨ Welcome to Helping Humanity Heal! ✨

As a Black q***r woman, this journey has been one of deep purpose, passion, and relentless dedication to healing my community. From my days as an undergrad double-majoring in Criminal Justice and Psychology, to working in residential settings, to obtaining a Masters in Counseling Psychology specializing in substance use, to community mental health and group practice—I’ve seen firsthand the disparities we face and the lack of representation in spaces meant to care for us. That’s why I’ve committed my life to being an advocate for Black mental health and the healing of our people.

This is more than a career; it’s a calling. I’ve built Helping Humanity Heal to provide a safe, affirming, and culturally-responsive space where Black individuals, families, and birthing people can reclaim their power, heal from trauma, and write their own stories of strength and resilience. Our mental health matters, our stories matter, and our healing is a radical act of resistance.

Now, as the owner of my own solo practice, I am ready to continue this work with even more intention and passion. I’m here to support, uplift, and guide us toward the wholeness we deserve.

I’m so excited to have you on this journey with me. Whether you’re here to seek support, to learn, or to share this space with others—welcome. Together, let’s break cycles, heal generations, and build something new. 🪴
