FOR THE BLACK WOMAN WHO IS EVERYONE ELSE’S SAFE PLACE— AND HAS NEVER HAD ONE OF HER OWN.
You're the capable one. The one people exhale around. You can hold a room, a family, a crisis — what you can't seem to do is set any of it down.
You've understood yourself for years. What you haven't done is experience yourself: rest without guilt, want without apology, be held instead of always holding.
HEY, I’M SHAY…
I’m an individual and relationship therapist who works with people who are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready for something deeper.
Many of my clients come to me understanding themselves—but still feeling stuck in the same patterns in their relationships, decisions, or emotional responses.
My work is centered on helping you slow down enough to understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
I help clients move from automatic patterns into more conscious, intentional ways of relating—to themselves and to others.
This is where insight turns into real change.
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING..
RELATIONSHIP CONFLICT, DISCONNECTION, OR COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES?
LOSING YOURSELF IN RELATIONSHIPS OR FEELING UNSEEN?
REPEATING PATTERNS YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ALREADY WORKED ON?
DIFFICULTY SETTING BOUNDARIES OR PRIORITIZING YOURSELF?
OVERTHINKING, ANXIETY, AND/OR FEELING MENTALLY EXHAUSTED?
FEELING STUCK, UNCLEAR, OR DISCONNECTED FROM YOUR DIRECTION?
These experiences often have deeper patterns underneath them.
In our work, we slow things down enough to understand—and shift—what’s really happening.
