Trust me, you will never hear me ask “where are you from from?” 

Life can be difficult enough at baseline, and having to explain cultural norms and nuances to a well-meaning therapist can add to the exhaustion.  A quick Google search for a therapist reveals that the vast majority of working therapists are Caucasian/white; I know it can be hard to identify and feel safe with someone when you feel that they don’t “get” where you’re coming from.  I have years of experience helping clients improve their relationships within the workplace and in their personal lives.

Without a doubt, we have not had the same childhood or current every day, but that sense of sitting across from someone who’s lived a glimmer of your experience can feel like a buoy when times are hard.
