If you are reading this, you have already made one of the bravest steps towards help and I commend you for taking this first step toward life-long change. One of the reasons I am passionate about my work is because I am blown away by the courage and resilience it takes to embark on therapy. I believe that psychotherapy is first and foremost about relationship – to be able to delve into even the scariest of topics with someone that you trust. Therefore, I do not believe in a ‘band-aid’ approach, but work to create lasting change by seeing how therapy, and our relationship, can acutally be a microcasm for changing your outside world.

To suffer is human – but to grow and heal is also human. In life, you might experience stress, anxiety, self-criticism, anger, sleep disturbance, chronic pain and disability, difficult transitions or relationships, and other challenges. Sometimes, you might feel so stuck or overwhelmed that your usual coping tools are not quite enough. It can be helpful to seek support from a professional who empowers you to overcome life’s challenges by helping you tap into your inner resources and develop new ones. I am a therapist with years of experience offering such support.

Your cultural identity within its intersections of family, sociopolitical and generational aspects have posed questions of who are you underneath the trauma you’ve experienced? In what ways have you coped to heal the anxiety or emotional exhaustion you’re feeling? Have the intergenerational experiences your family and community been through affected you and how do you navigate this alone? What places can you belong with a complex identity in the world and within yourself? Attending therapy and uncovering these inner wounds/strengths can help you feel grounded in your cultural identity and shift to intergenerational healing and ease.
