I help clients struggling with…
My areas of specialty include first gen, bipoc communities struggling with life challenges around identity, navigating family dynamics, and intergenerational trauma. Being the first in your family is both a blessing and a curse which is accompanied by many life changes that we are often ill equipped to manage. I walk alongside you in this journey to find positive new ways of relating to the old and the new dynamics of family life.
I am also passionate about working with new parents, moms, dads, and couples navigating the shifts in identity, dynamics and the major overhaul of adjusting to life as a new parent. I understand first hand how the unrelenting needs of a new family can impact each of you, the couple and everyone in the family. Some of those topics may include: maternal & paternal mental health, Perinatal and Postpartum Depression & Anxiety, Pregnant Individuals, and adjusting to life as a new parent.
I aim to provide an LGBTQ+ affirmative space and for those from marginalized communities that needs a welcoming, safe and affirming space to heal.
Specialties
I aim to provide therapy that is culturally rooted in your own lived experience and honors the vast amount of resources and wisdom you already possess.Through cultural humility, I am particularly interested in how your own family of origin dynamics have helped shape your own personal narrative and how those are currently serving or limiting your preferred way of being, living and healing. I strive to identify and address how larger systems of society have also impacted your current challenges.
