Preview of Building Your Dream Caseload pdf
I work primarily with women — largely women of color. My focus area is centered around two niche populations: highly educated, career-driven women who struggle with debilitating anxiety, and women who’ve experienced infertility or pregnancy loss. Prior to coming to Alma, I was much more of a generalist.
