Who I'll work with
I'm not yet seeing clients — but here's the kind of person I'm training to serve, and what I'll bring that's a little different.
Arab and MENA adults
I know what it's like to carry a name people mispronounce, a family whose love is loud and complicated, and a culture that doesn't always make space for the word "therapy." You won't have to explain the basics to me. We can skip past the part where I learn your world and get to the part where we work in it.
Latino adults — in English or Spanish
Soy bilingüe. We can do sessions entirely in English, entirely in Spanish, or in whatever mix actually sounds like you. For a lot of bicultural and bilingual people, code-switching isn't just a language thing — it's an identity thing. I want to be a therapist where you don't have to pick which version of yourself shows up.
First-generation Americans
The first-gen experience is its own kind of grief, its own kind of pride, and its own kind of loneliness. Wanting things your parents didn't have the language for. Feeling guilty for being okay. Feeling guilty for not being more okay. I get it, and I take it seriously.
Women carrying too much, quietly
For the women holding the family together, holding the career together, holding the relationships together — and wondering when someone is going to hold them. We'll work on the part where you stop having to be the strong one in every single room.
If you see yourself in any of this, join the list — I'd love to meet you when the time comes.
