Domestic Violence, also known as Interpersonal Violence or Intimate Partner Violence, is dangerous. I am incredibly alarmed by the number of black women who have been killed by their husbands over the last month and a half. Physical abuse is not the only form of abuse. If your partner is constantly cursing at you and/or speaking negatively to you, this is a form of abuse. If your partner threatens to hurt you, hurt themselves, or hurt your children, this is a form of abuse. If your partner minimizes the abuse and finds a way to blame you, this is also a form of abuse. If your partner withholds money from you or limits your ability to make money, this is a form of abuse. If your partner forces you to engage in sexual activity, this is sexual abuse/assault.
Talk to someone. Not someone who will diminish your experiences. Not someone who will ONLY tell you to pray for your partner.
Your life matters.
What an energizing evening of connection and community. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who joined our game night for Black mental health clinicians at The Bohemian: A Wine Bar.
Over the course of the night, we created a relaxed, culturally centered space to connect, laugh, and decompress together—stepping out of the clinic and into a room full of Black clinicians who truly “get it.” Hearing people share stories, cheer each other on over Black-owned games, and settle into pure enjoyment was a reminder of how vital community and joy are to our professional resilience.
Thank you to all who attended and helped hold this space. Special thanks to The Bohemian: A Wine Bar for hosting us and to Beyond 50 Minutes: A Guided Therapy for supporting the event by covering a ticket.
Below is a clip from the evening. If you attended, please share your favorite moment in the comments—I’d love to hear what stayed with you.
If you’re interested in joining future gatherings for Black clinicians in Charlotte, please connect with me or send me a message; I’m already planning the next round of game nights and community events and would love to include you.

If you have been through or are currently experiencing any of what is listed above, EMDR may be the therapeutic support best suited for you. In my experience, I have found during EMDR sessions that sometimes individuals realize they are unconsciously remembering details of traumatic experiences. EMDR helps you process disturbing memories and be informed by them rather than be controlled by them.

After a traumatic event, it can feel like it is happening again, even years later. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain and body process stuck memories so they are less overwhelming now.
What might that look like? A less severe emotional response to the thought or memory of a traumatic or difficult memory. The ability to remain grounded and in the present whenever you are reminded of the past. You do not have to retell every detail of the traumatic event in order for EMDR to be effective. Each session is tailored to your comfort, ensuring you feel supported and collaborative while making steady progress.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more about what EMDR is, what sessions look like, and who it may be helpful for. If you’re curious whether EMDR might be a fit for you, you’re welcome to reach out or drop a question in the comments.
