Therapy for Immigrants & Adult Children Of Immigrants

I specialize in working with immigrants, children of immigrants, and migrant, refugee, diaspora populations.

Generational communities of immigrants face challenges in obtaining culturally responsive therapy that can adequately address the strengths, resiliencies, challenges, conflicts, & traumas that can arise within the immigration and cross-cultural experience.

My own personal, familial, and cultural story of immigration informs the path I took to offer Decolonizing Somatic Psychotherapy and focus my practice on BIPOC and 1-2 generation immigrant populations.

Forced migration and exile is a trauma arising from colonialism that reverberates through generations, resulting in displacement from one’s roots, a sense of estrangement, dislocation, anxiety, sorrow, transience, and fear of change, separation, & violence.

At the same time, I’ve found the cross-cultural perspective that comes with immigration can be an enormous strength, affording folks the ability to see life’s richness through multiple lenses, cultures, languages, and experiences.

When we are in contact with the generational channels of migration, change, immigration, and transition that shape us, we are in a better position to situate our lives, situate our hardships, and connect with the cultural hardships and resiliencies of what has come before, and what will come after.

I can help you navigate these currents, tell your story, and learn concrete, pragmatic coping skills to navigate life’s unique challenges.
