Therapy for Brown Girls
Maybe you’re facing pressures from family who are more traditional regarding issues related to: work/career, relationships, and spiritual/religious values/rituals. Maybe you don’t fully align with your parents' and older generations' views and as a result feel internal conflict. You are not alone.
As a 1.5 generation Filipina American (born in the Philippines, raised in the U.S.) and fellow brown girl, I understand the unique stressors that impact us from living a life that feels more authentically aligned. I help clients nurture their authentic selves, discover ways to honor their needs, and discover the path to accessing increased choices in life.
