Therapy that doesn’t pathologize. It honors. It liberates.
You don’t need to be fixed.
You need space to feel, witness, and remember.
Together, we tend to the parts of you long ignored — with depth, softness, and clarity.
Therapy for Individuals & Relationships.
I offer online therapy for individuals and relationships navigating the complexity of living in oppressive systems.
I work with those who feel in-between. Between cultures. Between roles. Between who you were told to be and who you’re becoming.
This work is relational, trauma-informed, decolonial, and rooted in mutual respect.
I Hold Space For…
BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and adult children of immigrants.
Grad students, activists, organizers, and policymakers with marginalized identities.
Therapists, healers, helpers, and service providers who are burnt out but still dreaming of change.
People exploring spirituality, lineage, identity, and reconnection to land
Folks with chronic illness and/or autoimmune conditions wanting to navigate no nonsense self-care and self-advocacy.
Those experiencing racial trauma, intergenerational trauma, or systemic oppression.
People from the global majority struggling to set communal boundaries with friends and family.
Couples and relationships in intercultural or attachment-based conflict
General Therapy Focus…
Imposter syndrome, cultural disconnection, acculturation, burnout
Boundaries, communication, grief, and intergenerational trauma
Embodiment, identity exploration, spiritual reconnection, and ancestral healing
Life changes, losses, and adjustments
About Individual Work…
My work with individuals centers on healing what did not begin with you. Many people arrive with depression, anxiety, or trauma, yet sense—often correctly—that these experiences are rooted not only in personal history, but in intergenerational patterns shaped by colonization, migration, racism, gendered violence, poverty, and other systems of oppression. These symptoms often intensify not because something is “wrong” with you, but because your nervous system is responding to ongoing structural harm layered on top of inherited survival strategies.
Together, we slow down and listen to what has been passed through your family line and what continues to be reinforced by the world around you. We work to understand how these patterns live in your body, relationships, and sense of self—so that what once helped your ancestors survive does not continue to limit your ability to live fully. This is not about blaming previous generations, but about honoring their survival while choosing differently where choice becomes possible.
This work is relational, embodied, and direct. I help you notice what is hard to see on your own, and I invite you to take responsibility for how these patterns move through you now. The goal is not symptom management or self-optimization, but liberation: increased agency, clarity, and the capacity to live with more integrity and connection.
This work may not be a fit if you are primarily looking for coping skills, quick relief, or a very gentle, hands-off approach. I do not offer quick fixes or techniques divorced from context.
This work is likely a good fit if you are ready to interrupt repeating patterns, willing to be challenged with care, and open to meaningful change—even when it requires discomfort. If you sense that something deeper wants to shift, and you’re prepared to engage that process with honesty and commitment, we may work well together.
About Couples & Relationship Work…
Being in relationship is a continual commitment to connection after disconnection—to understanding one another through vulnerability, discomfort, and mutual accountability rather than blame or avoidance.
In relationship (including couples) counseling, we don’t aim to blame or change the other person.
We aim to change the ways we show up.
We practice being better—together.
We learn to hold ourselves, and one another, with care, courage, and truth.
As a queer WOC in a queer relationship, I hold relational space with nuance and embodied care.
I work with:
BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, and Intercultural relationships
I specialize in:
Attachment patterns and communication problems
Life changes and transitions
Boundaries, care, and repair
My work is best suited for couples and relational constellations who already know why they are here. I do not help people decide whether they want to stay together or separate as the primary goal of the work. If you’re feeling unsure, ambivalent, or hoping therapy will clarify whether to divorce or remain together, this likely isn’t the right space.
Instead, I support people who have chosen to engage the relationship they are in—and who are willing to take responsibility for how they participate in it.
I do my best work with couples and relationships who are ready to do the work—who know that something needs to shift within themselves in order for the relationship to heal and evolve.
I don’t help people avoid conflict. I help people learn how to be in conflict differently—with more presence, accountability, and tolerance for discomfort—so that connection becomes possible even when things are hard.
This work requires readiness. Not perfection, but willingness. I work with people who are prepared to take action, reflect on their own patterns, and try something new—not those who are hoping things will change without having to change themselves.
My style is direct and grounded, but not designed for high-conflict or volatile dynamics. I do my best work with relationships where there is enough stability and safety to slow down, listen, and practice hearing one another—even when it’s uncomfortable.
Many people who work with me are already in individual therapy, or have done therapy before. You don’t need to be an expert—but you do need to be open. I’m not here to do the work for you or to force insight where there’s resistance. I help you see what may be difficult to see, and I ask that you take responsibility for what you notice.
If you’re able to consider that your own patterns matter, if you can notice defensiveness (even when it shows up), and if you’re willing to stay curious rather than collapse into blame—then we may be a good fit.
If you’re seeking to convince, corner, or change your partner, this likely isn’t the space for you.
But if you’re ready to show up differently—to build connection, clarity, and accountability—then we might be a good match.

If your nervous system says “maybe,” that’s enough to start.
If you’re feeling unsure but something here speaks to you—reach out.
“I have had to learn to invite my broken heart to dine with me at the table. It is meaningless to run now. My broken heart is not a judgment or a crime. It is a detailed record of how I have tried to meet the violence of the world with as much openness as possible.”
