As an African American woman growing up in multicultural and ethnically diverse communities (in New Jersey and New York), Dr. White understands the interrelated impact of diverse cultures, individual differences, and environmental contexts on the development and worldviews of individuals. She recognizes the importance yet challenges with having multifaceted identities (e.g., race, age, sexual identity, religion, socio-economic status, education, personal interests…etc) and remaining “true to self,” while engaging in mainstream culture.

With this knowledge, Dr. White continues to instill in herself (as well as her clients) the importance of maintaining mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health and wellness practices, as well as, feelings of HOPE, self-acceptance, and the understanding that the experiences she has had and the choices she has made are not finite and do not solely define her identity. She and her clients are both “agents of change,” constantly progressing, and continuously developing through this journey called life.
