You're the one everyone calls when things fall apart, but no one ever asks how you're doing. If you're tired of being the strong one, you're in the right place. I work with people-pleasers, fixers, and cycle breakers untangling themselves from parentification, guilt, and burnout. Together we unpack the inner child wounds behind the responsibility, build boundaries that don't come with a side of shame, and make room for a life that's actually yours. You don't have to carry it all. And you don't have to figure out how to put it down alone.
I help people heal the patterns that lead to burnout, resentment, and guilt. Especially those stuck between cultures or worn down by people-pleasing. Together, we'll explore your inner child wounds, build boundaries, and rebuild self-trust. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally attuned, warm, and clear.
We'll break the cycles. Rebuild your self-worth. Make space for a life that's actually yours. Whether you're healing from heartbreak or the first in your family to stop the pattern, this is where that starts. Ready to choose yourself? Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today.

As a culturally informed therapist, I bring a modern, trauma-informed approach that looks at the whole picture, not just what's happening on the surface, but the family and cultural patterns underneath it. After our first session, we'll talk through what feels like the right fit and set clear goals to work toward together.
