Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, or expectations that seem difficult to navigate? Maybe you're constantly putting other people's needs ahead of your own, having difficulty setting boundaries, or wondering how your past experiences continue to shape your present relationships. You may find yourself caught in recurring family conflicts, navigating complicated dynamics with parents or siblings, or trying to find a balance between maintaining important relationships and honoring your own needs. Not quite ready for couples therapy but if you know of any trainings or resources for someone intersted, I would love to have them!

Jehlisa helps adults navigate life's challenges while developing a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the experiences that have shaped them. Her approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a focus on helping clients understand patterns, navigate conflict, establish healthier boundaries, and develop relationships that feel more aligned with their values. She believes therapy should honor each person's unique experiences, values, and goals.

Jehlisa has a particular interest in family dynamics, family conflict, intergenerational patterns, cultural identity, and the complexities of navigating relationships within immigrant and multigenerational families. She works with adults who may be navigating difficult family relationships, shifting family roles, longstanding patterns of conflict, or the tension between family expectations and their own evolving identities and needs. Drawing from both her clinical training and personal experiences as the eldest daughter in an immigrant family, she brings a thoughtful understanding of the responsibilities, expectations, and emotional complexities that can shape our relationships with ourselves and others.
