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.

EMDR That Sees the Whole You

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.

You Deserve a Therapist Who Gets It

You shouldn’t have to explain your humanity to receive help.

You deserve to feel seen, supported, and safe enough to heal.

If you’re ready to begin this work — or still unsure but curious — I invite you to reach out.
