Envisioning Wellness Together
Culturally Responsive Therapy based MN
Therapy that centers your humanity, culture, and lived experience.
Welcome to Envisioning Wellness!
If you're here, something in your life may feel heavy, overwhelming, or no longer sustainable. Many of the people I work with are used to being the ones who hold everything together, for family, work, or community, often quietly, sometimes just with a duct tape, a smile, and usually at their own expense.
Choosing to seek support is not a small step, it’s an intentional act of care for yourself.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who you are beneath the expectations, responsibilities, and pressures you carry. At Envisioning Wellness, I work alongside you to make sense of what you've been through and support meaningful, sustainable growth.
Let’s work on envisioning wellness together.
I'm currently accepting new clients for Thursday afternoons and all day Friday.

My Approach
I provide compassion-focused, culturally responsive therapy grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and respect for your lived experience.
My style is warm, direct, and honest supportive without sugarcoating, and rooted in care and respect. Therapy isn’t about fixing you; it’s about understanding what you’ve been carrying, how it’s shaped you, and what you need moving forward.
Our work together creates space for reflection, emotional awareness, and skill-building, while also acknowledging the broader systems, relationships, and cultural contexts that impact your mental health.
I'm trained in EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), and I integrate these based on what your work actually needs rather than applying a single model to everyone.
If you’re not sure whether this approach is the right fit, your questions are welcome.
Who I Work With
I work with adults who may be navigating:
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Anxiety, stress, or feeling overwhelmed
Depression or low mood
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Relationship and family challenges
Life transitions and identity exploration
Cultural, religious, or community expectations
Many of my clients are people who have spent years being strong for others and are now realizing they need space to be supported too.
I intentionally create affirming space for clients who are Black, Brown, Asian, Indigenous, Multiracial, LGBTQIA+, and navigating complex cultural or family expectations. I welcome all clients who value culturally responsive, affirming care.
A Culturally Responsive Space
At Envisioning Wellness, culture, identity, community, and history matter in the therapy room.
My mission is to provide culturally responsive, compassionate mental health care for people who have often been overlooked, misunderstood, or underserved within the healthcare system.
As a Black woman living in the United States, I understand what it can mean to carry your family's story alongside your own, and to navigate spaces that weren't necessarily built with you in mind.
As a clinician, I intentionally consider how race, culture, religion, gender, sexuality, family roles, and systemic barriers shape your experiences and mental health. Healing looks different for each person, and therapy should reflect that.
Healing does not require you to assimilate, minimize your story, or navigate systems alone. Therapy here is about support, connection, and making space for growth that feels authentic and sustainable.
You do not need to explain or justify who you are here.
Together, we work in ways that are respectful, affirming, and aligned with your values.
Where I Practice
I see clients in person at my office in Eagan, Minnesota, and online throughout Minnesota.
Telehealth is also available to clients located in Wisconsin, Washington, New Jersey, and North Dakota.
Envisioning Wellness serves Eagan, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Mendota Heights, Saint Paul, Minneapolis and the surrounding Twin Cities metro.
Note: Clients must be physically located in a state where I am licensed at the time of the session.

What to Expect
Reach out. Use the contact form or book a free consultation.
Have a conversation. We talk briefly about what's bringing you in, what you're hoping for, and current availability.
Decide what's next. If we're a good fit, we'll schedule an initial session.
There's no pressure to have everything figured out before reaching out. We take this one step at a time.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially if you're used to handling things on your own.
In addition to therapy, I offer clinical supervision for pre-licensed counselors and organizations, and mental health trainings and workshops for professionals, schools, nonprofits, and community organizations.

“Empathy:
Let me hold the door for you.
I may have never walked in your shoes, but I can see your soles are worn, your strength is torn under the weight of a story I have never lived before.
Let me hold the door for you. After all you’ve walked through, It’s the least I can do.”
