My name is Dr. Charisma, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT, training to become a full-spectrum doula, and a Lucumi initiate, committed to helping Black individuals and families thrive through holistic care, intergenerational healing, and culturally grounded support. With a deep passion for Black joy, authenticity, and community, my work integrates mental health advocacy, ancestral veneration, and the sacred transitions of life.
As a proud Black woman rooted in southern culture, my path has been shaped by a blend of resilience, curiosity, and connection. I’ve dedicated my career to providing spaces where healing and thriving are not only possible but celebrated. Drawing from my training as an LMFT and my evolving role as a full-spectrum doula, I aim to be a bridge between modern wellness practices and ancestral wisdom.
Whether you’re stuck trying to overcoming self-defeating beliefs, breaking unhealthy relational patterns, or feeling overwhelmed by having to do it all, it is possible to get back on track. We will work to analyze what struggles you are facing and try to change the behaviors and thought patterns that are keeping you from being the person you want to be.
