Ground Breakers Coaching and Consulting provides culturally centered EMDR support and resources.

I didn’t grow up seeing therapists who looked like me.
I didn’t grow up seeing EMDR trainers who understood the communities I came from.
And now? I get to be that person for other clinicians.

I get to help therapists feel more confident.
I get to teach EMDR in a way that actually honors race, identity, culture, and lived experience.
And I get to watch therapists walk away knowing they can hold space for their BIPOC clients in ways they were never taught in grad school.

2026 trainings are officially open, and I’m really proud of what we’re building: community-centered, culturally humble, and grounded in real clinical skill.

If you’re ready to deepen your EMDR work and serve your clients with more clarity and confidence…

When a client has to shrink, translate, over-explain, or swallow their truth just to get through a session… that’s not therapy.
That’s labor.

Cultural humility isn’t a niche skill, it has to be part of your clinical competence.
Because trauma doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Context, identity, history, and lived experience all shape how someone walks into the room.

And when therapists learn to hold all of that with intention, clients can finally exhale.
Because they feel understood, not examined.
Safe, not scrutinized.

Therapists, let’s be honest… a lot of what gets praised as “cultural humility” is sometimes just the bare minimum of what our clients deserve.

For BIPOC clients, safety isn’t created by a single moment, it’s created by your consistent awareness, attunement, and willingness to do your own work outside the therapy room.

Cultural humility isn’t a vibe.
It’s a practice.
It’s a skillset.
And for trauma therapists, it’s non-negotiable.

If you’re ready to learn EMDR in a space where race, culture, and identity aren’t sprinkled in at the end, but built into the way you conceptualize cases, attune to clients, and understand their nervous systems…

The holidays bring up a lot, especially for those of us holding space for everyone else.

If you’re a therapist and this season feels heavy, stretched thin, or bittersweet… you’re not doing anything wrong.
You’re human.
And you’re allowed to honor that.

You’re allowed to rest instead of perform.
You’re allowed to protect your peace.
You’re allowed to step back from traditions that don’t feel safe anymore.
You’re allowed to hold gratitude and grief at the same time.
You’re allowed to choose what supports your nervous system, and not what others expect.

Healing doesn’t pause for the holidays…
and it doesn’t look the same for everybody. 💚

And if this season is reminding you that you deserve support too, whether in your own healing or in how you show up for your clients, I’d love to walk with you.

Being a therapist means sitting in the unknown: both yours and your clients'.

Some days you question everything. Some days you might think of giving up.
Other days, those "oh s**t" moments become your greatest teachers.

The healing journey isn't linear for anyone. Not for clients. Not for therapists either.

The holidays have a way of stirring things up, don't they?
Old wounds, family patterns, expectations we didn’t ask for.
And if this season feels heavier than joyful… that doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

You’re allowed to not “perform happy.”
You’re allowed to take up space, slow down, or step back completely.

So many of us grew up believing we had to carry the emotional load for everyone else, but you get to rewrite that story now.

And if you’re a therapist trying to hold space for others while navigating your own triggers, you don’t have to do that alone either.

My EMDR trainings were built for this exact kind of work: helping therapists understand the nervous system, cultural context, generational trauma, and how to support clients through seasons that feel complicated.

The holidays can drain therapists in a way nobody talks about.
Clients are activated, everybody's busy, and suddenly your nervous system is running on fumes.

If you’re tired, unmotivated, or feeling that quiet burnout creeping in… this is exactly why I created this retreat.

Seven days in the Caribbean to:
✨ Reset your nervous system
✨ Heal the inner child wounds you’ve been carrying
✨ Learn EMDR + trauma tools through a culturally grounded lens
✨ Reconnect with the “you” behind the therapist

This isn’t a vacation.
It’s a recalibration.

We set sail January 3r, and there are a few spots left.

Comment RETREAT and I’ll send you the details. 🌊✨

The way we'll spend 50 minutes helping clients process their feelings and then go completely nonverbal when overwhelmed. 💀

We contain multitudes (and contradictions) and that's alright. ✨

Are my overthinkers out here listening?

Let me tell you something: if you catch yourself spiraling over things you can't control (whether it's situations with family, relationships that didn't go as planned, or worrying about what's coming next), pause and ask yourself:
→ what can I actually do right now?

Sometimes the answer is something practical you can prepare for.
But sometimes? The answer is nothing. And that's okay.
In those moments, the most productive thing you can do is breathe, regulate your nervous system, and give yourself permission to let it go.

And if you're having trouble letting go, maybe it's time to go deeper.

There's a unique weight that comes with being a Black therapist: holding space for others while navigating a system that wasn't built with us in mind.

We're taught to be the strong ones, the healers, the ones who have it all together. But who holds space for us?

You don't have to carry it all alone. You deserve support that sees the full scope of what you're navigating: professionally and personally. 🫂

If you're an EMDR therapist working on your mandatory 10 hours, or just a therapist needing guidance, support, or a refresh: my consultations are open.

The holidays hit different when you're holding space for everyone else.

Therapists aren't immune to seasonal overwhelm!!

The increased client load, the emotional weight of others' family struggles, plus navigating our own. It's not just okay to need support, it's *essential*.

💬 Comment 'GUIDANCE' if you need therapist consultations for support with your clients, work, or personal struggles. We see you, and we've got you.
