Strong, Successful, and Secretly Falling Apart? I See You.
Helping Women of Color + High Achievers Heal Family Trauma, Break Toxic Relationship Patterns & Find Secure Love
We know how exhausting it is to look like you have it all together while feeling anxious, stuck, or unfulfilled inside.
This is a safe space for Gen Z and Millennial women of color, immigrants, and high achievers who are ready to step out of survival mode and reconnect with themselves.
Maybe you grew up believing everything depended on you, that if you weren’t perfect, things would fall apart.
So you learned to keep the peace, silence your needs, and push harder than anyone else. And even now, with all your effort, you still feel trapped in the same cycles: the pressure to be strong, the fear of letting people down, and the quiet ache of never feeling “enough.”
It doesn’t have to stay this way. Therapy isn’t just surface-level talk—it’s a space to go deeper. To understand how your old survival strategies once kept you safe, but don’t have to run your life anymore.
Together, we’ll help you soften those patterns, rebuild trust in yourself, and create new ways of being in your body, your mind, and your relationships.
Whether you’re healing from family and childhood trauma, navigating the weight of cultural expectations, the exhausting process of dating, or just trying to remember who you are underneath the hustle…you don’t have to do it alone.
This is your space to finally exhale. 🌊
Your Cove of Safety
What we specialize in
-
Your trauma was not always loud.
Sometimes it looked like emotional neglect, the caregivers that didn’t show up, being punished for small mistakes, being the mediator in the family drama.
Complex trauma often shows up as:
• Anxious attachment or replaying the same toxic relationships
• Hypervigilance or thinking something bad will always happen
• People pleasing and feeling like you will always let people down
• Emotional shutdown or feeling numb
• Chronic self doubtWe use trauma informed, evidence based approaches including EMDR and parts work (IFS) to help you process what happened without retraumatization.
We don’t have to rehash the story and it is not about blame. It is about understanding how these things impacted you and your sense of self.
It is about creating a future that is not defined by your trauma.
-
You’re carrying more than most people can see.
Struggling with bicultural identity
Feeling pressure from family expectations
Being the strong one, even when you’re exhausted
Balancing two worlds that don’t always understand each otherMaybe you’re the eldest daughter, the cycle breaker, maybe you’re tired of justifying your life decisions to everyone.
Cookie-cutter therapy does not work for complex cultural experiences.
You deserve therapy that understands immigration trauma, intergenerational trauma, and first-generation guilt without you having to explain it first.
We get it, because we’ve lived it.
-
You love your family yet sometimes you feel suffocated by their expectations.
You were taught to be grateful, respectful, to achieve, to not disappoint.
Guilt has been a lifelong feeling.
But no one taught you how to rest.
Or how to set boundaries without guilt.If you are navigating:
Struggling with bicultural identity
Feeling pressure from family expectations
Trying to balance two worlds
Carrying unspoken intergenerational trauma
We can help, not because we “learned it in school” but because we’ve lived it.
Our approach is designed for nuance, context, and real life. Not surface-level advice.
-
On paper, your life looks good.
You are competent, reliable accomplished. But inside you are quietly anxious, lost, and have no idea what you want.
You might be:
• Overthinking every decision
• Afraid of making mistakes
• Struggling to rest without guilt
• Burned out but still performing
• Feeling like your worth is tied to productivityIf this is you, you are likely experiencing high-functioning anxiety. You were rewarded for being responsible. Now your nervous system does not know how to turn off.
We help you untangle performance from identity so you can feel secure, not just successful.
