In Wellness, a Holistic approach is an absolute necessity. You deserve a space where every part of you is welcomed — your history, your identities, your resilience, and the stories you carry.

As humans, we are shaped by many experiences — mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Your journey includes different aspects of yourself, both challenging and beautiful. No single experience defines you.

We welcome all parts of you as we navigate your mental health growth together.

At Tailored for Change, I offer culturally grounded, trauma‑informed therapy and holistic healing for people of the Global Majority who are unlearning survival patterns, rebuilding self‑trust, and reclaiming their emotional and ancestral inheritance. My approach integrates EMDR, Gestalt therapy, somatic practices, and Family Constellations, honoring both your lived experience and your lineage.
This is a space where you don’t have to minimize, edit, or curate your experience — or shrink yourself to be understood.

You get to arrive as your whole self.

What we Offer

Healing that honors your lineage, your lived experience, and YOU.

Culturally Grounded Therapy and Ancestral Healing for the Global Majority

Your healing deserves a space that understands the complexity of who you are — your culture, your ancestry, your lived experiences, and the patterns you’ve carried for generations that are now impacting you. At Tailored for Change, we offer therapeutic support that centers the realities of your life, the Global Majority and the emotional labor so many of us have been asked to hold.

We support individuals navigating:

  • Generational and family‑of‑origin trauma
  • Identity, belonging, and cultural disconnection
  • Burnout, emotional exhaustion, and survival mode
  • Boundary challenges shaped by culture, obligation, and expectation
  • The weight of being “the strong one” or the cycle breaker or the fixer.
  • Depression, Anxiety, Addiction

Our approach integrates EMDR, Gestalt therapy, somatic practices, and Family Constellations, allowing you to explore your healing through mind, body, spirit, and lineage. Each modality is offered with cultural humility and deep respect for your lived experience.

This is not one‑size‑fits‑all therapy.
This is healing that sees the whole of you — your strength, your tenderness, your ancestry, and your becoming.


WHY THIS SPACE IS DIFFERENT

Because your healing deserves YOU, your cultural and your family context, and everything that accompanies it, not erasure.

Traditional therapy often overlooks:
  • Cultural nuance
  • Family expectations
  • Ancestral patterns
  • The emotional labor of being “the strong one”
  • The realities of being first‑gen or second‑gen
  • The impact of colonization, migration, and assimilation
  • The weight of generational survival
  • The true meaning and impact of boundary setting
  • What self-TRUST really entails


My work centers these truths. 
I help you understand the patterns you inherited, reconnect with your body and intuition, and build self‑trust so you can create boundaries, relationships, and a life that feels aligned — not forced.
