About me

Life is tough and we are living in traumatic times. We’re surrounded by problems that often have few solutions, and we’re forced into societal routines that push us away from who we truly are and what we truly love. Despite the difficulties you may experience, I believe in your ability to heal, find strength in your discomfort, and exist in ways that are empowering and life-enhancing. And as a healer/wellness worker, I’m here to help you do just that! As a Black woman and decolonized therapist, my practice prioritizes and caters to the unique mental health needs of Black and Brown individuals - especially those with feminine and LGBTQ+ identities. Folks who are most drawn to work with me are those who are looking to integrate cultural and collective values into their therapeutic experience, while also working on their personal needs and struggles.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our time together, we will work on your individual goals, but we will also: •Share laughs & spend time connecting as people • Explore your needs, values, and beliefs from an anti-oppressive lens • Identify and tend to emotional, spiritual, and cultural wounds • Develop sacred wellness practices that honor your needs in their wholeness, & much more!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Some of my strengths as a provider are my passion for serving my community and my ability to form authentic, personable connections with the individuals I work with. I enjoy combining my lived-experiences, personality, and humor with my skillset, and I believe that joy, laughter, and community are some of the most therapeutic things that can be incorporated into the healing space.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are those who are curious, self-explorative, and looking to build consciousness on themselves and the world around them. I have found that my specific style of practice is most appreciated by those who enjoy having deep and existential conversations about themselves, their needs, wants, and desires, and life itself.

My treatment methods

Transpersonal

You are a beautifully complex and layered being. Understanding and loving all of who you are isn't just something you are deserving of, it's a requirement for your health and happiness. No matter what aspect of your life we are focusing on, my aim will always be helping you to identify, understand, and integrate all parts of yourself - who you are mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and culturally.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Understanding our emotions is crucial to understanding ourselves and our needs. I am not the therapist to look to if you are wanting to escape reality or suppress your emotions - if you work with me, I’m gonna get you in your feelings! I am also not the therapist who will tell you that your depression, anxiety, anger, etc. is your enemy. Instead, I will help you to understand the root of your emotional experiences, as well as what your emotions may be trying to tell you about yourself and your needs. We will also learn ways to sit with and nurture difficult emotions without judging them, dissociating from them, or allowing them to dictate our lives.

Trauma Informed Care

We live in a complex world where we are met with tons of complex experiences. Sessions with me are a safe and non-judgmental space, where we can begin unpacking all that you have been through. Within your own timing, we will build awareness on the ways your personal experiences have affected you, as well as how they have contributed to your strengths, all while exploring ways to heal from those experiences.

She is a breath of fresh air. Immediately she understood me, listened actively and gave me reassurance. I look forward to continuing to speak with her and work with her. She is truly exceptional and an excellent counselor.

Kamaria is amazing at what she does! She is so personable and welcoming and it honestly feels like I'm having a conversation with a trusted friend during our sessions (except I'm getting actual sound advice from a professional lol). I couldn't be more grateful that I found her when I did! 10/10 would recommend :-)
