Description
Are you tired and know you are doing the best you can with balancing work, complex relationships, and parental expectations.
Yet your parents don’t understand what it’s like to be an adult in 2023. They just don’t get it. You’ve tried to explain to them how you feel and what you’re going through and you always leave that conversation feeling defeated, ashamed, upset and guilty. At this point you’ve given up and have told yourself “get over it, it is what is it”. Yet, these interactions leave you feeling worse, tired and you notice yourself:
* Having trouble saying no
* Avoiding confrontation
* Being afraid of disagreements
* Feeling the need to overachieve
* Persistent need to please others and be liked
* Ignoring your health and mental health
* Having poor boundaries
* Feelings of resentment
My work speaks to Perfectionists, Givers, Chasers, and High-Achievers. Particularly, those who grew up suppressing their needs and self-expression as a means of survival. Whom were often told to be seen but not to be heard. I work with QBIPOC folx, and adult children of immigrants, navigating intergenerational trauma, life transitions, bi-cultural identity, and sexual orientation.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, warm, and direct. I draw from various modalities including but not limited to EMDR, Parts Work and ACT. I go according to your abilities, meeting you where you are and working from there, and here is where we cross paths.
