Therapy for First generation,
BIPOC & LGBTQ+ Communities
who are tired of carrying it alone
You keep the peace. You anticipate everyone’s needs. You overthink what you said, what they meant, and whether you did enough.
You’re used to being the one who handles it.
People-pleasing. Overthinking. Family Expectations. Perfectionism. Self-abandonment.
You may look capable on the outside while feeling anxious, resentful, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what you actually want.
You don’t have to hold it all together here.
How We Can Work Together
In-Person & Online Therapy
In-person in Eagle Rock and online throughout California.
Trauma
Therapy
For experiences that still feel stuck in your body, nervous system, or relationships—even when you understand them intellectually.
EMDR & Somatic Work
For anxiety, family-of-origin patterns, people-pleasing, and the parts of you that learned to survive by over-functioning.
Meet Emily
Therapy that makes room for all of you.
I’m not a blank-slate therapist. I bring warmth, humor, curiosity, and a culturally responsive lens into the room. We can talk about family, identity, politics, grief, boundaries, the memes you sent your friend at 2 a.m., whatever actually matters.
My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in EMDR, somatic approaches, and the belief that healing doesn’t happen outside of culture or context.
