A note to my clients who identify as People of Color.
When we work together I hear and respect your story, your promise to yourself, your struggles and dreams and your dreams deferred: your prayers for the survival of your children. I am acutely aware that there is systemic racism, and although there is a orientation at times that everything was getting “better”, I believe we did not have such a wide view of the hunting of POC as we do now with ready video, and although I am also aware that I present as and experience white privlidge; I am an ally, hearing your pain and hopefully offering you strength and comfort and understanding, and addressing your trauma.
Please believe that you can be open with me about this pain and trauma. I am your therapist, I am here to learn your story and help you traverse the trauma.
