“One of my main challenges was to know and live my worth. Growing up in an immigrant family with generational loss and emotional trauma, I struggled to acknowledge my needs and establish healthy boundaries. In an effort to find meaningful change and live my potential, I entered therapy.

I engaged in the vulnerable, courageous, and hard work of visiting the forbidden parts of my psyche and processed the uncomfortable feelings of abandonment, shame, and grief. When I learned about my family history, I found compassion for myself and my family. I broke transgenerational cycles. Going through this process changed my life. I now live an empowered, thoughtful, and aware life and am a present and valued member of my family system and community.”
