A Place of Solace
A Safe Place for Transformation
A Place of Solace was born from a deep, personal calling to create what I knew was missing: safe, healing spaces where Black women, marginalized communities, and all people could feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.
As a Black woman and Wilmington, NC native, I witnessed firsthand the emotional burdens carried in silence, the unspoken traumas, and the overwhelming lack of accessible, culturally responsive care. I knew we needed more spaces that honored our full humanity. I knew we deserved more than what was offered. We deserved solace.
​
With that, A Place of Solace was intentionally created to center the needs of Black women and other historically overlooked voices, while also honoring the rich diversity and interconnectedness of our community as a whole. At its core, A Place of Solace is about breaking the silence and dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in communities where seeking help has too often been a source of shame or misunderstanding.
​
This work is both sacred and personal. I’ve sat in rooms where our stories weren’t understood. I’ve watched people carry the weight of trauma alone because therapy felt out of reach—or worse, not meant for us. A Place of Solace was born from the belief that this healing is a right, not a privilege for some, and that everyone deserves access to therapy that feels affirming, culturally responsive, and rooted in love.
And we do it all with intention, mindfulness, and love.
