online therapy for women of color in california
a breakup, divorce or a relationship you know you’ve outgrown
a family conflict you can’t stop replaying
a crisis or loss that knocked you off balance
a role you’ve outgrown, or a life change you didn’t plan for
a change that’s stirring up old pain, or a pattern you keep repeating
a late adhd diagnosis, or realizing it’s been adhd all along
what brings you here?
what you might be feeling
anxiety that won’t switch off
depression that looks fine from the outside: you get everything done and enjoy none of it
guilt about wanting something different
the exhaustion of never feeling like enough
if this sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
you don’t have to edit yourself here.
I work with women of color going through major life changes, and that’s the heart of my practice. I help with the anxiety, depression, or old trauma that resurfaces under the stress of change, and I also work with ADHD.
For many women of color, it can be easier to relate to a therapist who has experienced the world in some of the same ways they have. I’ve dealt with racism, stereotypes, and the pressure to shrink myself, so I won’t tell you it’s in your head. It’s real, and it wears on you.
I bring clinical skills, warmth, and no judgment. I’m in your corner: supportive, honest, and not afraid to challenge you when needed.
“Too loud. Too aggressive. Too sensitive.”
In real life, we as women of color hear it a lot, and we learn to dim our light to keep the peace.
Here, your light stays on.
you’re right on time.
however long you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, you’re here now. let’s talk about the next step.
