Therapy for Burnout, Trauma, and Identity Struggles
What Brings People Here
Emotional and Inner World
Anxiety, depression, stress, or burnout
Shame, guilt, self-doubt, and grief
Mixed feelings or polarized thoughts
Emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or feeling flooded by internal states
Perfectionism, self-criticism, and internalized pressure to perform or hold it together
Relational & Family Dynamics
Attachment wounds and childhood trauma
Intergenerational expectations, cultural obligation, and family loyalty
Role fatigue, caregiver burnout, and chronic over-responsibility
Healing from emotionally unavailable, high-demand, or unpredictable environments
Intersectional Identities & Belonging
I work with people navigating intersectional identities and systemic realities, including:
First-generation, children of immigrants, diaspora, adopted, or third-culture lived experiences
Racial trauma and the ongoing impact of systemic oppression
Gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity
Neurodivergent identity (including ADHD, autism, AuDHD, high sensitivity, masking)
Spiritual or religious trauma, including harm rooted in control, shame, or exclusion
Feeling invisible, “too much,” or uncertain where you belong
My Therapy Approach
I don’t believe in pathologizing the survival strategies that once kept you safe, even if they now feel exhausting.
Healing is relational and rooted in reclaiming your story, not shrinking it to fit someone else’s expectations.
My work integrates:
IFS (Internal Family Systems) and parts work
Attachment-informed and inner child work
Nervous system and body-based approaches (Polyvagal, somatics)
Culturally responsive and trauma-informed care
Feminist and decolonized frameworks
Deep attunement to emotion, culture, and power
Intergenerational and family-of-origin work
What You Can Expect
Therapy is a space to move slowly, feel deeply, and come back to yourself in ways that feel safe and sustainable.
Over time, many people notice meaningful shifts, such as:
• Understanding their patterns with more clarity and less shame
• Feeling less driven by urgency, self-criticism, or the need to hold everything together
• Rebuilding trust in themselves and their needs
• Setting boundaries with less spiraling guilt
• Feeling more at home in their body and more able to listen to emotional signals
• Relating to others with more freedom, honesty, and steadiness
• Exploring identity with curiosity, compassion, and self-respect
• Beginning to imagine a life shaped more by choice and possibility, rather than fear
Healing doesn’t mean feeling happy all the time.
It means feeling more grounded and less at war with yourself.
Who I Work With
I work best with thoughtful, deeply feeling people who are tired of carrying everything alone.
Many hold intersecting identities, BIPOC, neurodivergent, gender and sexuality diverse, or highly sensitive.
I also work with people who give deeply to their communities, like teachers, librarians, community organizers, caregivers, and activists.
People who are often the emotional anchor for others, but rarely feel like there’s a space where they get to unpack.
Begin Here
If you’re ready for deeper, steadier healing, not just symptom relief, I’d love to walk with you.
