Therapy for anxious and burnt-out women of color
Empowering women to understand their true identity and recognize their worth.
Women exemplify remarkable determination, courage, and beauty.
Life presents distinct challenges for women, who often face the expectation of dedicating themselves to caring for their loved ones.
Women are frequently encouraged to give so much of themselves. As a result, we often struggle to accept help when it is offered, as we have been conditioned to believe we should manage everything perfectly.
Unfortunately, we might suffer in silence and emotionally exhaust ourselves because we overlook our limitations and personal needs.
This cultural experience is more common than you realize.
But should women settle, or challenge their circumstances to create change?

Does this sound familiar?
When it comes to your family and friends, are you usually the one they turn to for support?
While you’re their go-to person, you feel that asking for any help in return could seem unfair or unreasonable. This belief makes you feel isolated, even when you’re the one everyone depends on.
Have you felt compelled to take on everyone’s burdens because you are expected to be the perfect, obedient daughter?
Do you take on more tasks, even when overwhelmed, because saying “no” feels like you’re letting everyone 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 longed for a deeper connection to your purpose or identity because it feels like parts of you are scattered, and you’re unsure how to piece everything together?
Are you feeling overwhelmed and torn by the possibilities of the future? Has your life become so challenging and bleak that you find it difficult to see any hope?
“Yes, Amanda, I desperately need to break this cycle!
How can you help me?”
It can be draining to be the woman who works hard to stay strong for everyone.
It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by life’s constant demands. Women of color often face immense pressure to balance their aspirations with family responsibilities. If you’ve been wearing a brave face for a while, it’s understandable to feel lonely, drained, and even question your self-worth. Experiencing these emotions is natural, especially when it feels like the world is against you.
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, my passion is to empower women, especially those who haven’t had the emotional support they truly 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 value and navigate her journey toward emotional well-being and fulfillment.
Your story is worth exploring and living boldly and confidently!

Embracing this opportunity for yourself can lead to greater self-acceptance, empowerment, personal growth, and resilience.

Are you ready to ignite your passions and take a new approach?
If reaching out to a mental health professional for the first time feels overwhelming, I want you to know that I completely understand your anxiety. Being stuck in a vicious cycle can feel defeating, and exploring new options can be just as unnerving.
