Cultural considerations, Identity & Belonging

Therapy offers a supportive space to explore the different parts of your identity, bridge gaps between worlds or cultures, and better understand your sense of belonging. Examples of how this might show up in therapy includes:

​

​ ➤ Exploring the impact of culture, faith, and your lived experiences 

 ➤ Building confidence in expressing your authentic identity

 ➤ Reconnecting with cultural roots, spirituality, or other parts of yourself

 ➤ Managing guilt or pressure tied to cultural or family roles

 ➤ Understanding the impact of intergenerational trauma 

 ➤ Struggling to find a sense of home or belonging in new environments

 ➤ Managing feelings of disconnect from your cultural community or traditions, and acceptance around creating new traditions  

 ➤ Exploring identity and a sense of belonging after immigration or relocation

 ➤ Processing experiences of discrimination, racism, and/or microaggressions​

 ➤ Experiencing cultural differences within relationships

 ➤ Feeling pulled between family expectations and personal values

​

I value cultural context and understand the importance of feeling a sense of belonging, whether that's within society, family, friendships, or culture. I bring cultural sensitivity into therapy and aim to support you in building a stronger connection with yourself. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to learn more about booking a session.
