Attention: Professional Women

Therapy for Women of Color and Individuals in the Queer Community Who Want Work Life Balance

Emotional support and guidance for individuals who want an identity outside of work while experiencing more joy in life.

Your reputation is, “I get sh*t done.” You are to go-to person at work. Everyone depends on you to finish the job, lead the meeting, fix what another coworker broke. All of your hard work paid off – you have the degree, the job, the salary.

But here’s the thing: you have realized that this is not what you meant by having it all, something is missing.

You are probably confused because you set goals and achieved them all.

But You’re Tired. Tired of the microaggressions, the gendered racism, the homophobia, the transphobia, the grind, the stress, and maybe even the monotony.

Have you ever spent an entire weekend in the house, shades closed, in the bed or on the couch zoning out because you had nothing left to give? Have you canceled plans, not because you had to work late, but because you were so upset about something that happened to you at work that you now can’t enjoy going out to dinner with friends? These are signs that you are headed toward burnout.

You are not alone.

You are not alone if you find yourself wondering:

Why does everything feel overwhelming now? Tasks that you could do in your sleep now take more effort and energy to complete. The satisfaction you felt at work has disappeared.

Why am I not happy with what I have worked so hard to achieve? It’s confusing when you have a good job and a good salary but still feel unfulfilled.

What am I supposed to do now? Daydreaming about running away and leaving it all behind both excite and terrify you.

"I have everything I want, why am I still so miserable?"

The short answer is that your family, this society, and social media told you that you can just get a degree and a good job and feel happy. You did all that and the reward feels empty.

I get it.

I have worked with so many individuals just like you, who hit all the traditional success markers but are left feeling empty, stressed, or like something important is missing.

You Are Not Alone—And You Don’t Have to Figure This Out All By Yourself

This is another therapy session where we talk about your childhood, your adolescence, and past relationships. I am not going to tell you that you have to go backwards to move forward.

My approach is different with decolonized therapy: We focus on moving forward, honoring your values, and being intentional about how you spend your time, energy, and money from now on.

This isn’t traditional therapy. This is decolonized therapy, so we get straight to the point with short-term problem-solving techniques that are culturally appropriate. We combine those techniques with deeper, long-term therapeutic tools. It’s about helping the adult you have become—not just the child you were.

Why Do You Feel This Way? (And Why It’s Not Your Fault)

High achievers like you have been conditioned to believe that you must do 10 times as much to get a fraction of what you deserve because of white supremacy, capitalism, and the patriarchy. But what if that was poor advice?

What if success is about identifying the people/places/things that drain your energy and deciding to engage with less of those people/places/things? Without giving up all that you worked so hard for.

This probably sounds unrealistic, but it is a way forward. I meet with folks who ask, “How can I be happy again?” The answer lies in remembering your values and making decisions and choices based on your own value system.

You are used to pushing and doing all.of.the.time, but now you are out of gas, and every task feels like one more thing on an already endless To Do List. You are emotionally exhausted.

You keep asking yourself, ‘What is wrong with me?’ But the real question is, ‘What would actually help me experience more joy?’

Let’s figure this out together.

Imagine Waking Up Excited About Your Day

What if I were to tell you that experiencing joy and having work life balance are not fantasies—they’re possible! Picture this:

Instead of dreading the alarm in the morning, you wake up feeling refreshed and ready, looking forward to your day.

You start saying ‘yes’ to the people/places/things that are aligned with your values and ‘no’ to the people/places/things that drain you, without feeling guilty about it.

You confidently communicate boundaries at work and in your personal life, without apologizing or defending yourself.

You remind yourself that you are in control of how you spend your time, energy, and money.

It might sound unreal right now, but I’ve seen folks make more space in their lives for what brings them joy. You can have a happier life.

Decolonizing therapy one session at a time

How Decolonized Therapy is Different (And Why It Works)

I know you’ve probably tried other therapies, read the self-help books, and maybe even taken a course or two on work-life balance. If you’re still reading this, it’s because those things didn’t solve the whole problem. Here’s why:

We put more You back into your life. Most therapies, books, and courses never take into account our social identities, our values, and our lived experience.

We will not just talk about burn out—we will take action. Because some people have worked in hostile work environments, I used a trauma-informed, solution-focused approach to living in the present while developing a plan for the future.

We will focus on sustainable solutions. I can help you remember your values, what is important to you and we create a plan to align your actions with your values.

If You’ve Tried Other Solutions and Felt Stuck, You’re in the Right Place

It’s not your fault if you’re feeling burnt out and dissatisfied. High achievers (especially those in marginalized groups) are often praised for pushing through, but no one talks about the toll it takes on your mental and emotional health. You have been told to carry it all without a break, and that’s not sustainable.

I want you to know: It’s okay to ask for and accept help. It is okay to want more for yourself in this life you have created.

You might be asking yourself, “Will this really be different from what I’ve tried before?” The answer is yes, because this isn’t about accomplishing more—it’s about meaningful change.

You might that you are too busy to make time for therapy appointments. My approach is designed for busy people like you, with techniques you can apply right away in your everyday life.

You might worry that centering you is selfish. It is not. Centering your needs is very necessary. When you experience joy and work life balance, everyone around you benefits, too.

You might have a plan to just get through the next number of years and retire. You do not have to wait for retirement to live the life you want. Start now.

What Other BIPOC and LGBTQ+ Folks Say

While I can’t share specific testimonials due to confidentiality, I can tell you what past and current folks say:

“I finally feel like I’m living my life instead of just surviving it. I’m thriving.”

“For the first time in years, I wake up without a knot in my stomach. I no longer dread Mondays.”

“I’ve learned how to say no without feeling guilty, and it’s changed everything.”

“This was the awakening I needed.”

Ready to Create a New Path Forward?

Let’s take a moment to imagine your future:

You wake up feeling energized and excited about the day, with clear intentions and a sense of purpose.

Your work feels meaningful again but is not your sole identity, and you have the confidence to make choices that align with your values.

You find joy in the little things—weekend fun activities, family dinners, vacations—without the constant pressure of being productive all the time.

This isn’t just a fantasy—it’s achievable.

If you’re ready to create a life you love, I’m here, ready to support you. You don’t have to figure this out alone. Together, we can cut through the BS, identify what’s truly important to you, and you can build a life that feels joyful and balanced.

This is for you if:

You are a woman of color and/or a person in the queer community who is a high achiever but feeling burned out and is not ready to give up on your career.
You want to experience more joy but aren’t sure what that looks like or how to get there with your busy schedule.
You are ready to take action and move forward, not just talk about why things are the way they are.

This might not be for you if:

You only want to vent and complain about your job.
You want a quick fix or are not willing to make changes.
You prefer therapy focused solely on unpacking the past without using that information to make values-based decisions in the present.

Life is too short and too long to feel stressed, unsatisfied, or stuck. I can help you create a path forward—one that feels right for you.
