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.
