Hello, I'm Dr. Ebonee. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, struggling to keep up with relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals manage anxiety, avoid burnout, and break free from cycles of trauma, stress, and self-doubt. Together, we can identify what’s not working and get you back to balance. My interest in spirituality, which is not tied to any specific religion, allows me to offer a holistic approach to healing that addresses the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. I emphasize trauma’s role in shaping core beliefs, psychosocial stressors, and generational patterns, recognizing its imprint on the central nervous system. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), coaching, and positive psychology to reframe trauma narratives, foster self-discovery, and disrupt patterns of depression, anxiety, and re-traumatization. Whether you're navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or cycles of stress and overwhelm, I provide a safe space where healing begins. I know it may seem impossible, but what if I told you that you have the power to change your life? Now is the perfect time to start your healing journey. In our sessions, I’ll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let’s work together to build communication strategies, set boundaries, break cyclical trauma patterns, and foster self-worth for long-term stability. I’m excited to be on this journey with you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

If you are seeking support on your journey towards healing, self-care, and self-discovery, I am here to help you navigate these complexities with empathy, understanding, and a personalized approach tailored to your unique needs. Everyone’s journey is different, trust the process and believe in yourself!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength is that I have been where you are. I’ve sat in someone else’s chair and done the very same work I now guide others through. I understand the fear, the resistance, and the hope that comes with healing because I’ve walked that path myself. This lived experience allows me to connect deeply with my clients and truly understand their plight. In terms of specialties, I focus on working with trauma survivors, utilizing my training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients reframe negative thought patterns, regulate emotions, and break cycles of distress. Some of the core qualities I bring to my practice include: - Empathy – I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and validated in their experiences. - Active Listening – I don’t just hear words; I tune into the emotions, patterns, and unspoken struggles beneath them, ensuring my clients feel fully understood. - Flexibility – Every person’s healing journey is different. I adapt my approach to fit the unique needs of each client, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all method to healing. - Boundaries – I prioritize healthy, professional boundaries to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, structured, and respectful.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, and past trauma. With a strong foundation in social work and a deep understanding of mental health issues, I approach my work with compassion and care, providing a safe space for healing. My holistic approach incorporates spirituality—not tied to any specific religion—to address the emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. At the core of my work is inner child healing, recognizing that our deepest wounds often stem from unmet childhood needs. The inner child wants to be seen, comforted, and heard, and when ignored, it manifests in cycles of trauma, self-doubt, and emotional distress. By reconnecting with and nurturing this part of ourselves, we can break generational cycles of pain, reclaim self-worth, and foster emotional resilience. I emphasize trauma’s role in shaping core beliefs, psychosocial stressors, and generational patterns, acknowledging its deep imprint on the central nervous system. Trauma can keep the nervous system locked in fight, flight, or freeze mode, influencing how we process emotions, respond to stress, and engage in relationships. Unresolved trauma often fuels negative thought patterns, emotional dysregulation, and cycles of re-traumatization. Through a combination of inner child work, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed strategies, I help individuals restore a sense of safety and balance within themselves. What if I told you that your biggest barrier isn't just the trauma itself—but the story you’ve attached to it? The narrative you’ve been telling yourself about what happened, what it means about you, and how it defines your future is often the real obstacle. By reframing these trauma narratives and shifting your mindset, you can disrupt cycles of depression, anxiety, and self-doubt and take back your personal power. My approach integrates positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and nervous system healing to promote self-discovery and emotional freedom. By developing healthy boundaries, strengthening communication skills, and fostering self-worth, I support individuals in breaking free from destructive cycles and preparing for future stability. I know it seems impossible, but what if I told you that you have the power to change your life? Now is the perfect time to start your healing journey.
