Maybe you feel like you’re holding it all together, but the pieces don’t quite fit? Perhaps the weight of being a caretaker, the hard worker, or the one who always pleases others has left you feeling disconnected, as though your life exists in someone else’s narrative. As an emerging Black therapist, cis woman and immigrant, I approach healing with the belief that even the smallest shifts can create profound change. Together we’ll explore the layers of your experience, and how they’ve shaped all the ways you move through your worlds.
You may have felt anxious, frozen and unsure how to move in systems that haven't always made space for the complexity of your story. Together, we’ll take the pain, grief, and fear from that experience seriously. I'll be a grounded witness, accompanying you as we examine patterns that have kept you orbiting in familiar, yet limiting, cycles.
For Black women, women of color, and children of immigrants, you may have tried therapy before and found it didn’t resonate. Together, we’ll honor the interplay of culture, identity, and lived experience, delving into the ways your anxiety shows up and explore new sustainable ways to navigate it.
Let’s create a cohesive, expansive space where all the raw parts of your experience can come together—through tender work. It’s not always easy, but by embracing the process, we’ll build something real and nourishing, shaped by your own hands.
