Here’s a bit more about my qualifications
*note: my worthiness isn’t based on any of these things!
- I’m a licensed clinical psychologist. I received my B.A. from Stanford University and my Ph.D. from DePaul University.
- I spent 4 years working at a University Counseling Center, where I provided therapy to incredibly high achieving students who struggled to feel worthy. In particular, I focused on supporting students from underrepresented groups.
- I have written numerous academic articles, and recently co-authored the bookPromoting Black Women’s Mental Health: What Practitioners Should Know and Do that will be published by Cambridge University Press (check it out here).
- In 2018 I gave a TEDx talk called Cultivating Unconditional Self-Worth that kicked off my journey to help as many people as possible know they are worthy. The talk now has over 1.5 million views!
