Introduction

Are you a child of immigrants navigating an "in-between" life? Existing on the outskirts of your culture can leave you dealing with diasporic guilt, complex family dynamics, and feeling boxed into traditional expectations. Perhaps you are a SWANA individual dealing with somatic disconnection, or an athlete of color navigating racial discrimination. You don’t have to carry this heavy weight alone. As a culturally affirming LPC in Illinois, I provide a safe space for 1st/2nd generation BIPOC and SWANA clients. Here, you never have to translate your colonial trauma, religious trauma, or diasporic grief. Rooted in the Social Model of Mental Health, my therapeutic style is decolonized, relational, and process-oriented. Together, we will work to heal intergenerational trauma, build somatic resources, and redefine healthy masculinity. I specialize in helping clients safely process burnout from systemic capitalism, global crises, and existential grief. I offer 100% virtual, HIPAA-compliant therapy across Illinois (including Chicago and the suburbs). To make care accessible, Olive Branch Wellness accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Aetna, Cigna, and other plans. If you are motivated, introspective, and ready to break old patterns to reconnect with your truest self, reach out today for a free consultation.
