Are you stuck in a never-ending cycle?

Do your family and friends often turn to you for support? While you are their go-to person, you might feel that asking for similar support in return is unfair or unreasonable. This belief can leave you feeling isolated, despite being the one others rely on.

Have you ever felt the pressure to take on everyone's burdens, believing this is how to be the perfect and obedient daughter? Do you take on more tasks, even when overwhelmed, because saying "no" feels like letting others down?

If you achieve a small amount of success, does this little voice in your head try to convince you that you don’t deserve recognition or praise?

Have you ever found yourself searching for a deeper connection to your purpose or identity, as if pieces of you are scattered and yearning to come together?

Are you feeling overwhelmed and at a crossroads where you’re considering giving up on the possibilities that the future holds? Has life become so challenging and devoid of hope that you struggle to see any light ahead?

“Yes, Amanda, I desperately need to break this cycle!

How can you help me?”

Every woman navigates her emotions and uniquely manages her mental health, but having a therapist who truly understands and honors the complexities and challenges that women face is key to fostering change.

It is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by life's constant demands. As women of color, we often struggle to balance our dreams with family duties. This journey can leave us feeling isolated, exhausted, and questioning our self-worth.
Although we face many challenges, we all deserve the opportunity to transform. Life should not just be about “getting by” but about thriving.
You deserve to prioritize your mental health not as a luxury but as a fundamental right.

As a therapist, I focus on empowering women who have yet to receive the emotional support they deserve.
I aim to create a safe and inviting space where women can explore their feelings, heal from past experiences, and discover their strength and resilience. Through empathetic guidance, I strive to help each woman recognize her worth and navigate her journey toward emotional well-being and fulfillment.

Your story is worth exploring and living boldly and confidently!

“Can online therapy help me as a woman of color?”

Online counseling can support women of color in exploring and developing a strong sense of self and identity.

The counseling process offers an opportunity to explore and gain insight into yourself by examining your various intersecting identities, such as race, ethnicity, gender, cultural background, sexual orientation, skills, and socioeconomic status.

Doing so can cultivate self-acceptance, self-empowerment, personal growth, and resilience.
