Meet Your Sidekiks

I created SAFESPACE because I was tired of feeling like I had to go through everything alone.
I’ve been the person people leaned on — the go-to for advice, for strength, for solutions — but when I needed someone? Crickets. Scripture. Maybe a shrug.

I used to think I needed to be rescued. But over time, I realized something deeper:
I didn’t need a hero.
I needed a place to become one.

I studied life coaching, behavioral theory, and poured myself into personal growth. Not just to heal myself — but to build something for the rest of us. The ones who always show up for others. The ones who carry their childhood, their community, and their quiet pain like armor. The ones who never get asked, “How are you really doing?”

That’s why I started SAFESPACE.

Not as a clinic. Not as a course. But as a refuge where the strong get support, the helpers get held, and where becoming the best version of yourself doesn’t require pretending to have it all together.

So if you're carrying more than you should, if you’re tired of being “the rock,”
Let me be your Sidekik.
Let’s make healing less clinical… and a little more human.

I earned my Social Work degree from Alcorn State University with the dream of becoming a school counselor. Someone students could lean on, not just for advice, but for real support and guidance.

But after graduating, I found myself working in behavioral health for the state. And while I was helping kids in tough situations, the job came with limits. I could offer resources — a phone number, a pamphlet, a website — but not the kind of help I knew they needed.

That didn’t sit right with me.

Because when someone’s hurting, they don’t need another link. They need someone to actually listen. Someone to show up.

That’s why I joined SAFESPACE.

Here, I finally get to do the work I was meant to do — offering real support to people navigating hard moments, not just pointing them somewhere else. And I’m honored to be that person for someone who needs more than a referral.
