“We need to tell our stories, not simply to heal, but to reshape the world we thought we had to survive.”

— Aurora Levins Morales

Exploration and Reclamation of Identity

If you're feeling the quiet ache of not quite belonging—caught between cultures, faiths, or generations—you might be in the right place.

Maybe you’ve begun to question the beliefs you were raised with, the roles you were expected to inhabit, or the values handed down through family or community. Perhaps you’re holding the complexity of a multicultural, multiethnic, interfaith, or blended family—your own or the one you grew up in—and trying to make sense of where you fit within all of it.

You may be grieving the loss of a spiritual home, navigating the rupture of religious disillusionment or exclusion, and wondering how to reclaim a self that still feels true. These moments of unraveling—though disorienting—can also be invitations.

In our work together, we will:

  • Make room for the courage of stepping outside inherited narratives

  • Honor the beauty of living at the crossroads of culture

  • Stay curious about who you’re becoming—not rush to define who you are

  • Tend to the unknown and uncertain with care and compassion

  • Explore the parts of your story that feel unfinished

  • Listen for the identities that have been silenced or forgotten

  • Follow the thread of longings that are asking to be heard now

You don’t need to resolve every contradiction to be whole.

I draw heavily from traditions and frameworks that have shaped meaning across generations:

  • African-Centered wisdom

  • Buddhist psychology

  • Māori and Pacific storytelling traditions

  • Teachings of Sufi mystics, Taoist flow, Confucian ethics, and Stoic clarity

These aren’t abstract ideas—they’re living ways of navigating change, contradiction, and becoming.
