You feel like you are…
Carrying the emotional weight of unspoken family expectations, maybe you’re the one tasked with keeping the peace or holding it all together, but inside, you’re longing for release.
Labeled the 'difficult', ‘sensitive’ one or maybe feel like the ‘black sheep’ or ‘scapegoat’ for challenging family norms or cultural traditions.
Isolated, misunderstood, or overwhelmed by the pressure to meet family, cultural, or work expectations.
Disconnected and questioning your sense of identity and struggling to find connection.
Exhausted trying to break free from toxic family patterns and unsure how to find your footing.
Tired of masking your identity to please others or fit into a mold that wasn’t meant for you.
You’re feeling unsettled, searching for your sense of purpose & direction.
I see you. I hear you. I get it.
Hi there, I’m Adri (ay-dree)!
As a woman of color and first-gen college grad, I've walked the path many of you are on. Through my own therapy journey, I finally found words for experiences I struggled to name.
I get it – the push and pull of culture, family, and society can be overwhelming. When you don't fit the mold, it's easy to feel alone.
That's why I'm here. As both an ally and someone who often shares the same marginalized identities as my clients, I bring a decolonized approach to therapy. I see you and your unique struggles, and how systems of oppression impact mental health. Let's work together to make your voice louder.
Let’s work together.
