Intergenerational Therapy
As a young BIPOC professional or second generation child of immigrants, you may feel the weight of balancing cultural expectations, family responsibilities, and personal success. The pressure to meet your family’s hopes while carving out your own path can feel overwhelming—leaving you stuck between who you’re expected to be and who you truly are.
You might find yourself struggling with self-esteem, trauma, PTSD, or family conflict, feeling the strain of complicated relationships with your parents while carrying the pressure to succeed. These challenges can take a toll on your mental health, leaving you feeling anxious, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted.
Surviving Doesn’t Mean Thriving
It’s common to feel trapped in “survival mode” — constantly striving to succeed for your family while pushing aside your own emotional needs. Being the first in your family to navigate career success, financial stability, or personal growth can create a sense of duty where your goals take a back seat. Over time, this can lead to burnout, stress, and feeling emotionally disconnected.
Therapy can help you break this cycle. I provide a space where you can unpack these pressures, explore your values, and learn how to prioritize your well-being without guilt.
How Does Therapy Fit Into Your Life?
In cultures where family bonds are deeply connected, it can feel awkward or even disloyal to discuss personal struggles with those closest to you. That’s why I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely—without the fear of criticism or misunderstanding.
You don’t have to share everything all at once. My practice is dedicated to helping first-gen and young Black professionals find clarity, balance, and a stronger sense of self-worth while honoring their identities and lived experiences. Our work together will be collaborative and compassionate, allowing you to open up at your own pace while learning healthy ways to communicate, set boundaries, and honor both yourself and your relationships.
Your Healing Starts Here
You deserve to feel whole, empowered, and seen in all areas of your life. Healing doesn’t mean abandoning your culture or your family’s values—it means learning how to honor both while building a life where you thrive.
