Heal Together.
Specialized support for adult children and their parents, and adult siblings
You are the bridge builders.
The “buffer” generation, standing between inherited stories and uncharted futures, navigating the complex terrain of family legacy with courage and intention.
You're breaking silences that have echoed through generations, finding words where before there was only unspoken tension.
Break the Silence. Break the Cycle.
These are not simple conversations - they are reclamations.
You may be the first in your family to name what hasn't been named, and articulate the unspoken patterns that have shaped your family's emotional landscape.
Or perhaps you're a parent who senses the distance growing between you and your adult child—yearning to understand their world, their language of healing, their need for boundaries. You recognize something is shifting, and despite the discomfort, you're willing to step into unfamiliar territory to preserve what matters most: your relationship.
Whether you're a daughter or son challenging gender-based, generational scripts, an adult child bridging generational gaps, or a family member navigating transitions in identity and purpose, you understand that healing is an act of radical love.
The Inherited Landscape
Family isn't just blood. It's a complex ecosystem of stories, survival strategies, and unspoken agreements.
Every conversation carries the weight of what came before – the sacrifices, the adaptations, the choices made for survival. For adult children, the expectations laid down by previous generations may clash with your emerging sense of self.
For parents, there's the challenge of honoring your own upbringing while understanding your adult child's different path. Together, you're creating new maps when the old blueprints no longer serve the relationship you both desire.
Instead of rejecting roots, this transformation deepens understanding to forge a path that honors both where you've come from and where you're each going.
In our work, we'll explore the intricate threads that connect your family's past to your present. We'll create space for both perspectives—the wisdom of experience and the insight of new awareness.
There's room for individual and collective growth without severing the profound connections that sustain you, regardless of which generation initiated this journey.
The Impossible is Possible.
Transformation lives, not in grand gestures, but in the subtle moments that once seemed impossible.
Imagine a conversation where silence transforms into understanding, where a parent who never said "I'm sorry" makes you feel acknowledged in your body, not by uttering those words, but by meeting your gaze and seeing you, perhaps for the first time in your life.
Healing doesn't look like what you've been told it should.
It might be:
A mother whose cultural script never included vulnerability, now sitting quietly with your tears instead of dismissing them.
The son who never felt seen for who he truly is now bringing his authentic self to family gatherings—and being met with curiosity instead of judgment
The siblings who fought bitterly for decades now standing together through a parent's illness, finding strength in their shared history
These are the moments of radical transformation that are available to you through our work together.
Instead of striving for perfection, we'll create space for something more honest, more real than anyone in your family lineage has ever experienced. Your healing ripples far beyond this moment, touching ancestors who never had the language, and equipping future generations who will inherit your courage.
This is how we break cycles. This is how we become the bridge.
I know this path well.
My mother—a woman of fierce survival, complex love, and unyielding resilience—carried the weight of migration, sacrifice, and unspoken traumas.
As a second-generation daughter born to an immigrant mother, our relationship became a landscape of intense rupture, marked by deep wounds from my childhood that reverberated through years of disconnection and painful attempts to understand each other.
I learned early that our relationship was never simple. The cultural expectations, the unprocessed generational pain, the stark differences in our experiences of survival and belonging created a chasm that seemed, for years, impossible to bridge.
Our first therapy sessions were battlegrounds of unspoken grief. Raw. Uncomfortable. Necessary.
Twenty years of intentional healing has transformed what was once a relationship defined by hurt into something more nuanced, more generous. Through my personal work, I've created space that allowed aspects of our relationship to shift. It’s not perfect. Not always easy. But deeply human.
I've learned that healing is not about erasing the past, but about cultivating a different kind of understanding, and recognizing the love that exists alongside the pain.
This is why I specialize in the intricate dance of parent and adult child/children relationships, particularly for immigrant and first-generation families. I have a soft spot for challenging mother-daughter relationships.
I know, viscerally and clinically, what's possible when we choose courage over silence.
Investment
$250 - 300/session
Therapy is not an expense, but rather an investment that makes everything in your life work better.
The patterns you're ready to break have had an expensive emotional cost, but that can change. Imagine what becomes possible for you when peace, instead of pain, shapes your relationships and choices.
We’ll begin our work with a deep exploration of your family dynamics, including astrological and ancestral mapping, and leverage those insights in our weekly sessions (up to 90 min) to help you achieve your goals.

Virtually and weekly. In order to build a meaningful working relationship and build momentum around your desired transformation, expect to meet weekly.
Biweekly and monthly sessions are reserved for existing clients who are approaching the end of our work together and are tapering off their session frequency.
In-person sessions are available on case-by-case basis.
-
It depends. Healing takes time, and looks differently for everyone. I see clients for a minimum of 3 months, and many experience significant breakthroughs between 12-18 months of consistent weekly sessions.
-
With multiple people’s perspectives to address, the standard therapy hour is insufficient. 90-minute sessions ensure all parties can fully express themselves, practice new skills, and work through conflicts to meaningful resolution. This format promotes deeper progress while maintaining focus before emotional exhaustion sets in.
