Areas of Support
Intergenerational Trauma
Regardless of your starting point, a central thread in my work is healing intergenerational trauma. Whether this trauma stems from colonization, forced displacement, resource extraction, or systemic oppression, we will trace its patterns to break cycles of harm and build new legacies of connection and wellbeing.
Focus: Three interconnected areas
Supporting Marginalized Communities & Descendants of Colonization
If you are a person of color, Indigenous, or from a community impacted by historical oppression, our work will focus on the intersection of your mental health and systemic forces. We will explore how intergenerational trauma caused by colonization, slavery, and ongoing systemic violence shows up in your life. Together, we will:
Connect current-day struggles (anxiety, hypervigilance, grief) to historical and systemic roots.
Navigate the impacts of ongoing racism, sexism, and classism on your wellbeing.
Reclaim cultural wisdom and ancestral strength as a source of healing and resilience.
Unpacking Privilege & Racialized Dynamics
For those holding forms of racialized or systemic privilege, I offer a non-shaming and accountable space to do the essential work of unpacking what you’ve inherited. We will also explore the costs associated with such privilege on your own ancestors, family and life. This work is not about guilt, but about responsibility and integrity. We will work together to:
Identify and unroot internalized superiority and unconscious biases.
Understand how colonial dynamics may operate in your family system, relationships, and daily life.
Develop practical tools to leverage your privilege for collective change without centering yourself or burning out.
Navigating the Complexity of Multicultural & Mixed-Heritage Identities
If you come from a multicultural, mixed-race, or immigrant background, you may carry both the wounds of marginalization and the complexities of privilege simultaneously. This nuanced space can create feelings of isolation, imposter syndrome, or a sense of not belonging fully anywhere. Our work will focus on:
Holding space for the full complexity of your identity without forcing you to choose one side.
Healing the internal conflicts that arise from navigating multiple cultural worlds.
Understanding how colonization has shaped your family’s migration story and current dynamics.
