Susanna La Practice Description
Do you feel lost in an overwhelming world? Have you followed the roadmap given to you and did all the "right" things, but still feel deeply unhappy and unfulfilled? I work with high achieving and sensitive women of color who are familiar with prioritizing the needs of family, career, and relationships before their own. Many clients I work with grew up in immigrant families and from an early age were emotionally neglected, abused, and parentified (taking on adult responsibilities as a child). If this sounds like your childhood, as an adult, you've likely experienced depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and relationship problems.
