You're Not Alone in Feeling Disconnected
From the outside, your relationship might look fine. But you know the truth—the conversations feel surface-level, the intimacy has faded, or you're both successful individuals who somehow can't connect as a couple. You're tired of the same arguments, unspoken resentments, and wondering if this is as good as it gets.
Here's what I know: Most relationship struggles aren't about not loving each other—they're about not knowing how to communicate needs, navigate differences, or break patterns that keep you stuck.
I help Black couples:
Create deeper emotional and physical intimacy
Communicate about desires, boundaries, and needs without blame
Navigate differences in desire, expectations, or life goals
Rebuild connection after infidelity, conflict, or major life changes
Address sexual concerns and mismatched desire
Break cycles of pursuing/withdrawing or criticism/defensiveness
My Background: Master of Social Work (MSW) | Specializing in sex therapy and couples counseling | Author of "Waiting to Exhale" (self-care and gratitude journal) | Supervised by Natasha Riley, LPC, CPCS
My Approach: I create a safe, judgment-free space where both partners feel heard and valued. We'll explore what's really underneath the surface conflicts, develop practical communication skills, and rebuild the emotional and physical connection you've been missing. I combine evidence-based couples therapy with culturally responsive care that honors your experience as a Black couple.
I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and personal growth—especially when these concerns affect your intimate relationships.
Sessions: Virtual throughout Georgia | Aetna accepted | Self-pay available
