❤️If you've been unsafe emotionally, physically or spiritually. ❤️

We’ll SHAKE SUM through it with MAYA
😁

This event is for all women who have survived, still surviving AND Thriving from unsafe experiences such as homelessness, family neglect, emotional abuse and sexual abuse- This event aims to not only help you get safety back, we hope you leave with your power and joy intact. There’s so much more to you AND your body than survival.

Guess what? You can bring another friend for the price.

SHAKE SUM SUMMER:)

I think it's important that you get to know me on a human level and as a therapist. I was born and raised in Chicago on the south side. My mom is from the south side, my dad, from the west side.

I've worked in places from South Carolina to Louisiana and back here at home. I'm the oldest of seven kids(the youngest is 17, I'm 35) so I have a lot of experience being patient 🙂

I went to a black college in the Louisiana my first 4 years, then Chicago State University for my Master's in social work.

!!Therapists go to Therapy!!- I've been through homelessness, abuse, and other traumas and learned through my own therapy to forgive myself, make boundaries and find peace with who I am. Now as a Spicy Therapist:)
