Princess Spikes, LICSW

I support Black women who are navigating life’s struggles while carrying the pressure of always having to be “strong.” You may be the person everyone depends on—the one who keeps going, handles everything, and shows up for others even when you are emotionally exhausted. On the outside, it may look like you have everything together, but inside, you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying so much on your own. Therapy can be a place where you no longer have to perform strength or have all the answers. Together, we create a safe, affirming space where you can exhale, feel understood, and focus on what you need. We can explore the experiences, relationships, expectations, and patterns that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries.
