“Amanda, how can you help me?”
Are you usually the person most of your family or friends turn to when they need support? While everyone depends on you, you have convinced yourself that asking for similar support in return is unfair and unreasonable.
Have you ever felt compelled to bear everyone's burdens, believing you're not living up to the ideal of a perfect and obedient daughter if you don't? Do you take on even more tasks, even when your plate is full, just because saying ‘no’ feels like you’re letting people down?
Even if you achieve a small amount of success, a little voice in your head tries to convince you that you don’t deserve recognition or praise.
Are you feeling stuck in a never-ending cycle?
Every woman navigates her emotions and mental health in her own unique way, and it's essential to have a therapist who truly understands and respects the individual complexities and challenges that each woman faces.
If you feel overwhelmed by life's constant demands, trust me, you're not alone. 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. Yet, this is a challenge and a chance for transformation. 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.
I am passionate about supporting women who have never received the emotional care they crave.
Your story is worth exploring and living boldly and confidently!

“How 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 is a chance to navigate and understand who you are by exploring your intersecting identities, including your race, ethnicity, gender, cultural background, sexual orientation, talents, and socioeconomic status.
Doing so can cultivate self-acceptance, self-empowerment, personal growth, and resilience.
Let me be your advocate and guide you toward a gentler approach to self-care!
Are you ready to ignite your passions and dive into a whole new approach?
Seeking support from a mental health professional can help you develop healthy coping strategies, explore underlying issues, and promote overall mental well-being.
