Race & Identity Counseling

A space where your culture, lived experience, and identity are honored — not explained.

As a biracial person, I know how much of daily life can feel like navigating multiple worlds at once: translating, shifting, shrinking, or over-explaining just to be understood.

You deserve a space where none of that is required.
A space that feels like relief, recognition, and belonging — where all of your identities can breathe at the same time.

Does this sound familiar:

  • As a biracial or multiracial person, you were never “enough” to be part of the group.

  • People dismiss the pain you experience because it was “just a joke” and “you are too sensitive.”

  • The systems we live in perpetually make you feel unsafe and drained from the repeated trauma you experience or witness.

  • “I’m proud of who I am, but it’s exhausting always being the one who ‘gets it.’”

  • Your histories, stories, and traditions were never discussed in school.

You may be navigating

  • Biracial or multicultural identity

  • Race-based stress or trauma

  • Code-switching fatigue

  • Feeling disconnected from cultural roots

  • Belonging in predominantly white spaces

  • Family + cultural expectations

  • Identity shifts in parenting, partnership, or career

If pieces of this land with you, you’re in the right place.

My Approach

Identity. Emotion. Culture. Connection.

I work through a person-centered, relational, and EFT lens — slowing things down so we can understand how your identity, emotions, and relationships all weave together.

In this space:

  • Your story guides the work

  • Your cultural experience stays centered

  • Your pride matters as much as your pain

  • Nothing about who you are is “too much”

This isn’t just about reducing symptoms.
It’s about feeling whole, grounded, and fully yourself — without masking, shrinking, or explaining.

Why This Work Matters

Because our communities deserve therapy that honors our joy, our resilience, and our truth.
We deserve soft places to land.
We deserve to be seen.
We deserve to be held in our fullness.

What We Can Explore Together

  • Reclaiming identity and belonging

  • Healing racial + intergenerational wounds

  • Navigating biracial/multicultural family dynamics

  • Understanding cultural expectations

  • Strengthening self-trust and self-definition

  • Holding both the beauty and the exhaustion of identity work

  • ... and more...

Ready When You Are

Because we deserve spaces that honor all of who we are—
not just what’s visible, but what’s been carried, questioned, and shaped over time.
If you’ve been looking for a space where you can show up more fully, this might be it.
