Healing the wounds you were never meant to carry alone.
This Isn’t Just About One Incident — It’s the Weight of a Lifetime
Racial trauma doesn’t always come from a single event. Often, it’s the accumulation of harm: the offhand comment, the systemic silence, the years of overperforming, overexplaining, and being overlooked or misunderstood — even in therapy.
You may carry:
• The tension of being “the only one” in your workplace, classroom, or friend group
• Fear of being labeled “angry,” “sensitive,” or “difficult”
• Exhaustion from code-switching or emotional labor
• Deep sadness from generational loss, cultural disconnection, or family survival stories
• Hypervigilance in predominantly white spaces
• Hurt from therapists who didn’t “get it”
These wounds live in the body — and EMDR offers a way to gently process them, without needing to rejustify your experience.
I provide EMDR therapy that honors your lived experience as a woman navigating race, gender, culture, and power — often all at once.
EMDR helps you move beyond coping into healing by:
• Reprocessing moments of microaggression, exclusion, or racialized trauma
• Shifting internalized messages like “I have to work twice as hard to be safe”
• Reconnecting with parts of your identity that have been shut down for survival
• Creating space to feel, grieve, and reclaim
• Supporting your nervous system’s ability to regulate and feel safe again
You don’t have to talk about every detail to process deeply. EMDR offers a structure to hold what’s overwhelming — and release what no longer belongs to you.
What You Might Be Holding
→ “I Don’t Want to Explain My Identity in Therapy”
You’re not here to educate. EMDR with a culturally attuned therapist allows you to process without translating or minimizing your truth.
→ “It Wasn’t Just One Moment — It’s Constant”
We can target cumulative experiences: the thousand paper cuts of racial invalidation, coded language, and feeling invisible.
→ “I’m Carrying What My Family Lived Through”
EMDR can help with inherited survival strategies, fear, or pain from intergenerational trauma — even if you can’t name a single defining moment.
→ “I’m Tired of Holding It Together All the Time”
You deserve a space where you can let go, feel, and heal without judgment.
