Superwoman,
Take Off That Cape!
Let’s be real, the expectation to be a successful professional, partner, and caregiver all while looking unbothered can take a toll. Who can blame you for believing in this mythological version of yourself? It has been reinforced for generations! Let’s redefine how you want to show up for yourself.
That Cape has you…
Taking care of everyone’s needs BUT your own
Being strong and self-reliant
Burdened with ALWAYS needing to exceed expectations
Struggling to make time for self-care & building support
What’s At Stake?
Everything! Beneath the facade of invincibility lies a perilous reality. The weight of unattainable expectations presses heavily as you navigate the challenges of an unjust world, leaving in its wake a trail of stress and burnout.
Your relationships are negatively impacted, as the relentless pursuit of being superhuman alienates the possibility of genuine connections.
The price of subscribing to this narrative is TOO high! You are deserving of support that truly acknowledges the challenges and triumphs you have faced.
A turning point in your journey towards a renewed purpose and shifting from survival to blooming . Your narrative is no longer just about rescuing others or putting up a facade that you are okay.
You are building healthy self-care practices, acknowledging when you need more support, and creating deep connections that allows you to hang up your cape for some solace.
Life Without The Cape Means…
The question remains, will you reclaim your mental well-being, or will this cape continue to limit the heights you can reach?
The answer lies in the courage to break free from the weight of that cape and embrace the liberation that awaits when you prioritize your mental health and seek the care and support you truly deserve.
At Bloom & Build Integrative Psychiatry, support comes in many forms.
Meeting with you to begin to create a new narrative that reflects the vision you have for yourself.
Meeting with the family to create positive change in each person’s life while honoring each members unique perspective.
Reproductive Integrative Psychiatry
Meeting with you 1:1 to identify and treat mood symptoms holistically that are due to hormonal changes such as your period, perimenopause, pregnancy, or postpartum.
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

A Partner in Your Journey to Wellness
My Story: As a Black woman, mother, and wife, my personal journey has deeply intertwined with my professional path. I understand the layers of complexity that come with juggling multiple roles while striving for personal and professional fulfillment. This unique perspective is at the heart of my approach to psychiatry.
Understanding You: In my practice, I recognize that each patient brings a rich tapestry of experiences that shape their mental health. I believe in not just treating symptoms but understanding the person behind them. Whether you are facing challenges related to perfectionism, navigating high-functioning depression and anxiety, coping with the changes of postpartum, or dealing with mood shifts during pregnancy and menopause, I see you. I understand that your journey is unique, and so should be your treatment.
Holistic and Integrative Care: Beyond traditional psychiatric treatments, I incorporate integrative approaches tailored to your individual needs. This may include nutraceuticals, herbal remedies, and mind-body practices, ensuring a comprehensive treatment plan that aligns with your lifestyle and values.
Collaborative and Empathetic: I am not just a clinician but a partner in your journey to mental wellness. Our sessions are a safe space where your voice is heard and your feelings are validated. Together, we will navigate the complexities of your experiences, working towards a balanced and fulfilling life.
For BIPOC Women & Families: My practice is particularly attuned to the needs of BIPOC women and families. I understand the cultural nuances and unique challenges faced by our community. By providing a space that is both understanding and empowering, I aim to be a source of strength and healing for women and families who often find their concerns unheard in traditional settings.
Commitment to Growth: My commitment extends beyond our sessions. I continually update my knowledge and skills to provide the most effective and evidence-based care. Your mental health journey is dynamic, and so is my approach to helping you thrive.
Join Me: If you're looking for a psychiatrist who not only understands the medical aspects of mental health but also appreciates the complexity of your individual story, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together towards a brighter, healthier future.
