JOY AND LIBERATION

Individual Therapy for Cycle Breakers, First-Gen, BIPOC & Queer Adults in California

All the people I work with have something in common:

  • They’re looking for a more fulfilling life, are motivated to grow, and want to live with intention.

  • They’re tired of how things have been and believe things can be different moving forward.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your relationships, burned out from being the “strong one,” or carrying inherited stories that no longer fit, individual therapy can help you reconnect with yourself.

Some of the reasons people begin therapy with me include:

  • Navigating family dynamics and intergenerational patterns

  • Experiencing life transitions like graduating, getting married, and changing jobs.

  • Feeling the weight of first-gen exhaustion or perfectionism

  • Exploring racial trauma or systemic oppression

  • Rebuilding self-worth after shame, imposter syndrome, or people-pleasing

  • Working through anxiety, low motivation, or depression

  • Struggling with boundaries and communication

  • Exploring body image issues and fatphobia

  • Coming out, identity shifts, or navigating queer and LGBTQIA+ family dynamics

In therapy, we might work together to:

  • Reconcile the pain and gifts in your family history

  • Develop communication and relationship tools

  • Deepen your sense of purpose and direction

  • Understand how past experiences shape current emotions and behaviors

  • Challenge inherited beliefs that no longer serve you

  • Create a safe, affirming space to rest, feel, and grow

My approach is especially attuned to folks navigating identity shifts, complex family dynamics, and the impact of racial or generational trauma, all while working toward a life that feels more aligned and self-authored. While my work centers first-gen, BIPOC, and queer experiences, people of all identities and backgrounds can benefit from a systemic approach that reveals patterns rooted in family, culture, and community, even when they’re not immediately obvious.

Curious if we’re a good fit? Let’s connect.
