Therapy for Adults Healing from Complex Trauma and Cultural Shame
Hi, I’m Abi.
As a child of immigrants, I understand the unique challenges of navigating between cultures, honoring family expectations while finding your own path, and processing experiences that don't always fit traditional therapy frameworks. I know what it's like to carry the complexity of immigrant family dynamics, cultural identity, and the pressure to uphold values that may no longer serve you.
I offer a compassionate, grounded space where you can process what you've been through, understand how it still shows up today, and begin building a future that feels more authentically you.
You don't have to navigate this alone. Let's move towards healing, together.
“The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.”

I specialize in supporting adults who are:
Navigating immigrant family dynamics and cultural identity
Healing from childhood trauma and complex PTSD
Working through intergenerational trauma and family patterns
Recovering from relationships with harmful power/control dynamics
Processing religious trauma and faith deconstruction/reconstruction
Managing depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms
Through evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy, I help you move toward:
Feeling grounded in who you are and making decisions aligned with your values
Setting boundaries that honor your needs and building authentic relationships
Breaking free from cycles of conflict and building real connection (for couples)
Processing traumatic memories so they no longer control your present
Developing compassion for all parts of yourself and leading from your grounded, authentic self
I use EMDR and IFS (Internal Family Systems) as primary modalities to support deep, lasting healing.
I work primarily with adults (18+) and couples in Texas. Many of my clients are:
Children of immigrants navigating cultural identity and family expectations
People of color seeking culturally affirming therapy
Adults healing from shame-based or authoritarian upbringings
Individuals processing religious or spiritual trauma
Survivors of emotionally or physically abusive relationships
