You’ve always found a way to overcome challenges on your own. Adapting to a new country, building a stable life, and creating opportunities for your family are all proof of your resilience. But sometimes, life throws unexpected changes that feel overwhelming—moments like a divorce, infidelity, tension with your children, or stress at work. These transitions can leave you feeling stuck, angry, resentful, sad, frustrated, or unsure of how to move forward.

You may wonder why these challenges are hitting you so hard when you’ve already faced so much. Or perhaps you’re struggling to understand why your children don’t appreciate the sacrifices you’ve made for them. These feelings are natural, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

Why are Life Transitions Overwhelming?

Infidelity:

Infidelity isn’t just a betrayal of trust; it can feel like a blow to everything you’ve worked to build—your relationship, your family, and your sense of self. For many immigrants, marriage is more than just a partnership; it’s a cornerstone of stability, respect, and tradition. When that foundation is shaken, it can leave you questioning your values, your choices, and your future.

Divorce:
Divorce isn’t just the end of a relationship; it’s a moment that challenges everything you’ve worked to build. You may worry about how your family will view you, how to protect your children, or how to rebuild your life after such a significant change.

EMDR Therapy Can be Powerful to Approach Life Transitions

Understanding Your Journey in a Culturally Sensitive Space

I help my clients understand what’s happening in their lives and support them in seeing the bigger picture. As an immigrant myself, who has navigated life transitions as a wife and mother of three American children, I can deeply relate to your experience. I specialize in providing a safe, culturally sensitive space to help you address the unique challenges you are facing, explore your feelings, and help you heal.

Emotional Regulation and Relationship Skills

I teach my clients emotional regulation skills to reduce anxiety and provide practical tools for managing triggers, frustration, and negativity. This empowers them to improve their relationships by communicating effectively, setting boundaries, and overcoming feelings of guilt after disagreements.

Self-Care and Well-Being

I teach my clients self-care practices so they can prioritize their well-being and avoid feeling resentful toward others.

Holistic Healing with EMDR Therapy

In addition, we work together to address the root of the problem. I use EMDR, an evidence-based approach that accelerates the healing process and reduces discomfort. I take a customized, holistic approach to therapy, empowering my clients to reconnect with themselves, their needs and their values. Through this process, I’ve helped many immigrant clients not only overcome life transitions but also improve their relationships in general, find meaning, growth, and peace in their experiences.
