As a biracial woman, I welcome conversations surrounding identity, intersectionality, minority stress, and helping you identify and relate to yourself in a way that honors who you want to show up as in the world. I offer counseling for women of color and BIPOC therapy in Los Angeles and Irvine, CA.
Therapy for BIPOC and WOC
Women of Color
I understand the daily and sometimes exhausting balancing act of being condensed into the stereotypes of how you look on the outside, needing to work harder to stand out, and sometimes even harder to blend in, all while wanting to be seen and understood for who you truly are.
I understand the burden of feeling like your work performance can be seen as confirmation for others’ biases against your identified groups, dismissed as an expectation, completely overlooked, or placed in the “token member” category. You are more than the boxes in which you have been placed.
I believe that all women have the ability to be a strong force for change in their individual, work, and home lives. In my role as a therapist, I strive to create a space for women to start addressing the narratives they carry about their self-worth. Our society can oftentimes leave us with the belief that, “I’m not good enough, I’m too much, or I don’t really fit in anywhere.” These thoughts can become automatic and keep you from stepping into the roles you would like to, trapped in the boxes or expectations others have set up for you, or make you doubt your place at work, school, or in relationships.
I welcome these conversations and strive to meet you at every intersection of your unique and beautiful identity.
You are worthy.
You are a joy.
You are gentle.
You are magic.
You are a force.
You are expansive.
You are beauty at every intersection of your being.
You are light.
You are hope.
You deserve wellness.
