About My Approach
How I Can Help
Since 2020, I've been helping Gen Z black girls connect to something bigger than themselves. I coach them on a journey to find their sense of wholeness. Often there are limited self-help resources for black girls. As a result, I teach them self-improvement by providing coping skills that provide personal empowerment and self-love.
I support black girls by giving them the confidence they require to navigate their lives better. I use affirmations and journaling which aid them in finding a solution to their problem themselves. Visioning exercises are used to increase confidence and character.
Additionally, I incorporate guided meditation to support my clients.
