Hi, I'm so glad you're here! Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me and how I can help. My name is Summer, and I’m here to help you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Life can be tough, and it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure about what’s next. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, past trauma, relationships, self-doubt, or just don’t know where to start, I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can share your story. Together, we’ll figure out the best path forward and work toward the life you deserve.

WHO I WORK WITH

As a therapist, I’m passionate about supporting the mental and emotional well-being of Black and Brown women. I understand the unique challenges you may face, including generational trauma, struggles with identity, body image concerns, and relationship issues, which can often lead to anxiety and depression.

I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, recover from trauma, and improve their relationships. In therapy, we’ll explore your experiences, break down patterns, and develop effective coping mechanisms to help you feel stronger, more empowered, and at peace.

WORKING WITH ME

I believe in a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approach to therapy, recognizing that traditional methods may not always fully address the unique experiences of Black and Brown women. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing, I’d love to walk alongside you. I offer virtual therapy to clients across Chicago and Illinois. Let’s work together to create the life you deserve—reach out today to get started!

MORE ABOUT ME

I often use humor as a way to relax and unwind. Whether it's watching something funny, joking with friends, or just finding the lighter side of a situation, it helps me stay grounded and take the pressure off when things feel overwhelming. On any given day you can find me cozy on my couch watching Netflix or reading a good book.
