Stop over-explaining. Start healing.

Specialized Therapy for Children of Immigrants, POC, LGBTQ+, and Non-Monogamous Individuals & Couples.

The Space You’ve Been Searching For

You’re here because something isn’t working and you’re tired of filtering yourself. Whether it’s trauma that won't stay in the past, a relationship dynamic that feels like a second job, or the persistent pressure of being the success story for your family, you shouldn’t have to provide a cultural crash course to your therapist before you can get to work.

I provide a collaborative, down-to-earth space for high-functioning adults who are children of immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ+ folx, and those navigating the nuances of non-monogamy. This is a place where your identity, family history, and lifestyle are the baseline, not the exception. You get to show up as your full self—no code-switching, no "immigrant guilt," and no over-explaining required. We skip the performance and get straight to the healing.

Expertise Built for Your Reality

• When Insight Isn’t Enough (EMDR): Oftentimes those who have already done the work of talk therapy hit a ceiling and still feel stuck. You gained insight, you know your whys, and yet you still don’t feel completely healed. That’s because understanding your history isn't the same as releasing it from your nervous system. This is where EMDR comes in. It moves beyond the talking and targets the root of your stuck patterns, helping to get that "click" - the moment where an old trigger finally loses its charge and you can move through your day without the constant weight of the past.

• Modern Relationships (Gottman-Informed): Most couples come in secretly hoping I’ll finally pick a winner in their longest-running arguments. I get it, it’s exhausting to feel unheard. While we’ll definitely look at what's not working, my real goal is to help you retire the courtroom entirely. Whether you’re monogamous or navigating the nuances of ENM and polyamory, we’ll move past the who-said-what loops and get you back to actually enjoying each other.

• The First-Gen Narrative (Intergenerational Patterns): As a high-functioning adult and the child of immigrants, your success often feels like a collective family project. You might carry the heavy weight of immigrant guilt - the silent pressure to be perfect to validate your family’s sacrifices - while navigating the friction of setting boundaries that feel like a betrayal of your culture. Even if you’ve achieved the professional success expected of you, it can still feel like you're performing a role rather than living your own life. We’ll work on deconstructing these inherited patterns and navigating your household dynamics without you having to provide a cultural crash course first.

• Identity & Cultural Ease: You shouldn’t have to spend your therapy sessions translating your culture or explaining the subtext of your life. I provide a space where being POC or LGBTQ+ is understood as part of your foundation, not something you have to justify. We focus on your healing without the extra labor of having to educate your therapist first.
