COMMUNITIES SERVED
Therapy for BIPOC Communities: A Place that Sees your Whole Story
For many BIPOC individuals, therapy hasn’t always felt safe—or even accessible. I am committed to creating a space where your cultural background, family story, and lived experience are honoured and understood. As someone who knows the challenges of navigating multiple worlds, I recognize that therapy must be both affirming and practical in order to be truly helpful.
FROM SURVIVAL TO THRIVING
Therapy That Understands Cultural Navigation
Many of us were raised in families that taught us how to survive—not how to rest, dream, or thrive. Therapy offers the chance to reimagine what life can look like when you’re not just carrying the weight of expectations or survival strategies. Together, we’ll unpack intergenerational patterns, cultural pressures, and family roles that may no longer serve you, and we’ll build pathways toward healing and self-definition.
For immigrants and children of immigrants, the work often includes navigating the cultural gap between family expectations and personal values. For those raised by parents with narcissistic or emotionally challenged traits, therapy provides tools to heal from the wounds of emotional neglect or abuse.
