You are stuck in between worlds - in generational cycles, carry feelings of immigrant guilt, longing for a space for all of you. As a queer BIPOC individual/child of immigrants, you carry the weight of family, culture, and survival while longing to just be. You are tired of code-switching, performing, and generational cycles while shrinking yourself to be understood. Some therapists have said you are "too self-aware", others are culturally nonresponsive, and most do not see you. What you really want is to be seen by someone who gets your experiences - a space where you can be with your feelings instead of having to explain them.
As a queer person of color and adult child of immigrants, former grind culture subscriber, and award-winning research expert on intergenerational trauma, I am here to support you in lightening your load. You are ready to break generational cycles, slow down the anxiety of being on the go 24/7, and cultivating a life of softness instead of survival mode.
I am excited to work with you and will offer attunement, earnestness, humor, and warmth. Together we will find the words for your story, even if initially they seem distant. We will dream new ways of being in relation to yourself, others, the world, and systems of oppression. We will break oppressive generational cycles and cultivate a life of hope.
