Therapy for women of COlor Across Washington State
It’s time to release what was never yours to hold.
You are Tired of Feeling Tired.
Therapy for Latinx & women of color. Specializing in grief, relationships, and inherited trauma.
All your life, you needed to figure it all out on your own & always managed to persevere. But now, it feels impossible, and you don’t know how to get through it.
Over the years, you’ve carried more than you should have—grief, expectations, duty to the family above all else. Some lessons came with silence instead of support. Now, you’re trying to understand why you feel overwhelmed, hurt, and stuck. You want to honor your family without losing yourself—or maybe discover who you are for the very first time.
Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to choose between your culture and your well-being. Here, you can grieve, heal, and rewrite the story you’ve inherited—with the support you need.
Hi, I’m Karen.
I’ve been where you are and I’d like to help.
It feels like you're doing it alone. and the worst part? You thought you would be used to it by now and learned to manage, but lately, everything feels like it’s crashing down, and you don’t know what you are doing. It’s hard to balance the expectations of family, culture, and your own life. Sometimes, it’s hard to figure out who you are in the middle of it all, especially when you’ve been the one taking care of everybody else for years.
Whether you’re a…
Latinx or POC woman carrying the load of generational expectations
A daughter balancing your family's values with your own needs
Navigating the grief of losing a loved one or the loss of your culture
Working through the impact of past relationships and family dynamics.
...I want you to know that it’s okay to feel like everything sucks, and you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
I’m the kind of person who listens, who doesn’t judge, and who guides you through whatever challenge you’re facing. It could be grief, relationships, or breaking cycles from the past. No matter what, we’ll do it in a way that feels authentic, comfortable, and true to who you are.
Above all, this is a place where you can show up exactly as you are—no pretending, no masks, no pressure to be anything you’re not. I’ll be right there with you, helping you uncover what’s really happening so you can step into the life you deserve and embrace who you really are.
Specializing in supporting the healers and helpers of the family find their own healing.

You’ve always been the one holding everything together—caring for your family, solving crises, and carrying responsibilities far beyond your years. The weight of expectations felt crushing then, and it’s still heavy today. No matter how much you do, it never seems to be “enough.” You’re exhausted, and you know you want something different—but even admitting that feels wrong.
Therapy can help you understand the patterns passed down through generations and figure out what you truly want for yourself. You don’t have to keep shrinking to fit the roles that were unintentionally or culturally assigned to you. Together, we can explore how to set boundaries, redefine your place in your family, and finally give yourself permission to live life on your terms.

The grief that comes after losing someone you love is messy, unpredictable, and isolating. Some days, you feel okay, other days, the loss hits you like a wave you never saw coming. You wonder if the guilt will ever go away, if life will ever feel normal again—or if this ache is just part of you now.
I know you’ve put on a brave face for so many challenges in your life, but you don’t have to navigate this alone. In therapy, we’ll create space for your grief—without judgment and without a timeline. You can learn how to honor who and what you lost while finding ways to move forward with peace.

You’re the one people turn to—the fixer, the listener, the one who always shows up. But when you need support? You feel invisible. You keep things bottled up, afraid to burden others. But the truth is, you’re tired of feeling like the only one putting in the effort for your relationships every single time.
Therapy can help you break these patterns and build the kind of relationships that feel fulfilling—not just for others, but for you too. We’ll explore boundaries, communication, and what it means to be cared for without guilt or over-explaining.
