My immigrant background as a woman of color has enhanced my cultural sensitivity to minority clients. YOU are unique and know yourself best. You already have the answers to the challenges you are facing deep within you. I am here to provide a safe and caring space for you to uncover those answers. You have taken the very courageous action of reaching out for support. I want you to feel comfortable talking to me about anything. I will actively listen with empathy and acceptance.
