You carry guilt for choosing a path different from the one your parents laid out. While the relational blueprint you inherited wasn't ideal, it's the only one you've ever known. Now, you have the privilege—one your ancestors didn’t have—to explore and define what truly works for you. Yet, you struggle to let go of the guilt and shame attached to your decisions.
I help adult children of immigrants identify and live in alignment with their values - creating their own blueprint in the process. I support second-gens by providing tools and skills to cultivate healthy familial relationships - helping them build empathy for loved ones while also destigmatizing boundary setting.
Therapy is a deeply vulnerable experience, and your unique story deserves to be truly heard and understood. To help ensure you find a therapist that fits your needs, I offer a free phone consultation. I invite you to connect with me by email to ask any and all questions you may have.
