Real Talk, Tattoos, and Being Your True Self Are Absolutely Encouraged.

My Story:

Whew! Where do I begin?  Hey y’all! I’m Adrianna. It’s time to get real. That’s why you’re here, right? To figure out who the hell I am and why you should work with me.  Well, I’m here for it. And I can’t expect you to want to be real with me if I’m not real with you. If you need to know more about my degrees or trainings, just ask me or read a bit more about it below. But…I don’t think that’s what you really want to know.

I believe in therapy because it changed my life for the better during the most painful and confusing times. I know what it’s like to feel lost and ashamed and alone. To hide for fear of being exposed, due to either my own choices or choices others made that I had no control over. I’ve been stuck in patterns I wanted to break but didn’t understand how and didn’t know it was possible. I know what it’s like to feel broken and damaged. Hell, being a black woman in America alone brings such deep pain and requires a resilience I wish I never had to possess.

I kept going because I was seen, heard, and validated. It was in therapy that I learned my experiences, thoughts, and feelings weren’t abnormal or because of some fatal flaw in who I am.

Here’s what I now know, because of therapy:

• My traumas can heal and don’t have to be passed on to generations
• Anxiety and panic attacks don’t mean I’m weak or keep me from living a full life
• Being highly sensitive is how I was born and makes me see the world uniquely
• Living and thriving within and outside of the military are both acceptable
• As a black woman, there are names for my experiences and they are REAL

Being a Therapist is an honor and a privilege that I hold in the highest regard. It literally warms my heart and brings me to tears to think about how much I love to guide people toward their innate strengths and abilities and witness them achieve more fulfilling lives. The most rewarding thing is seeing you walk away lighter, more free, and excited about enjoying your life. I am committed to empowering you to see healing, transformation, and meaningful change, because I know it’s possible and I’ll always hold that hope for you. In short, I will love working with you, but I will love it even more when you no longer need me! And it doesn’t matter how long it takes. We’ve got this.

I am genuinely invested in you and bring an Accepting, Authentic, and Energizing Presence to our sessions.

People who know me say I’m equal parts bubbly and sassy. I’m kind of a smart-ass who will welcome you to cry freely, think deeply, act intentionally, and laugh hysterically (sometimes all at the same time) while also challenging you to tighten up in areas you’ve decided to work on. I only know how to be real, go deep, and build you up. I’ll work to earn your trust and hold it tightly. I promise to always bring my best self to session, and I welcome you to bring your full self. Just as you are. That’s it. That’s what you’ll get with me.

Our Sessions Are Focused On You

Sessions will provide you with the space to express your truest thoughts and feelings. In feeling safe and comfortable, you’ll be able to gain clarity and be your authentic self.

It’s important to me to provide a non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and stay open to any feedback and questions you may have. There isn’t a “one size fits all” approach to Therapy. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.

• Hold space for whatever you may share
• Help you identify and understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions
• Be flexible on the path of discovering what’s going on
