I understand the deep rooted systems at work and believe in activism in therapy. We will work together to dispel stories of hate from your life so you can reclaim your culture, your identity and your confidence.
Reclaiming Your Life from Violation and Human Rights Abuses
Everything is pulling you down but you have to get out of bed, it’s what you’ve always done. You have always overcome. The pain is deep, but your will for living, your strength is much stronger. You know you’ve got to find a way through. Your heart is speaking to you and telling you a different truth.
You used to feel the wind in your hair and now you feel stuck and isolated. You came here to escape the violence and inequality but found yourself among systems that don’t work like you hoped. Everyday, you battle the constant drone of cultural and systemic oppression.
Many years have passed, you hardly think about it. When you do, it all comes flooding back, the terror, the choices and the loss. You feel guilty for not thinking about your past enough and also guilt for thinking about it at all. You want to honor your past, your truth, your home and maintain the life you have built.
These above writing are just snippets of a life you may be familiar with. I am no stranger to the deep wounds, systemic and cultural oppression that has been inflicted on communities and individuals. Through international work, I have gained deep insights about the challenges that marginalized communities face. I understand the deep rooted systems at work and believe in activism in therapy. We will work together to dispel stories of hate from your life so you can reclaim your culture, your identity and your confidence. We will work to create protective barriers, renew your sense of determination, and recognize the strength that has been by your side all along.
