Affirming Therapy for Black, Indigenous & People of Color (BIPOC)
Being a person of color has its difficulties, challenges, joys, and wonderment. Our racial identity cannot be erased or unseen. It impacts the way people view us, perceive us, and react to us. This social construct plays an important role in how we have to navigate relationships, institutions, and systems around us.
If you find yourself here, finding a therapist of color is important to you. I am an Asian American, specifically a Chinese American, who is culturally sensitive and will examine systems of oppression with you. I am here to support your whole self and all aspects of your identities.
We will unpack what your racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds mean for you, how to rebuild a healthier relationship, and ways to stay connected with your communities.
Do you struggle to feel connected to your cultural background?
Do you find yourself wanting to align your praxis to your values and find ways to take action?
Do you want to process the ancestral rage that shows up?
