Therapy with Lili is a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and feel supported without the pressure to perform or have it all figured out.
I offer somatic therapy for adults who feel consumed by overthinking, emotional intensity, or the pressure to hold it all together. My approach is grounded, relational, and attentive to the nervous system.
As a mixed-race, multicultural cisgender womxn, I reflect on how my proximity to whiteness shapes the way I move through the world and this work. I recognize that identity, culture, and sexuality carry different meanings across lived experiences, and I aim to meet each person with humility and curiosity rather than assumption.
I work visually and metaphorically, often using images and everyday language to make complex emotional experiences more digestible. My focus is always on creating a steady, attuned space where nothing needs to be rushed or “fixed”. You are not broken, you are in recovery from years of surviving.
I want to know your unique story and how you came to be who are you today. Talk my ear off, I’m ready to listen.
What you might be struggling with
Waking up with racing thoughts and adrenaline. Being a parent, or just an adult, feels overwhelming. You're exhausted, and if you don't find relief soon, you're afraid you might really lose it this time.
You find yourself scrolling through social media, comparing your life to others and asking, “Did I take a wrong turn somewhere?”
You have vented to others, made promises to yourself, and cried more times than you’d like to admit. Still, the relief you crave hasn’t come. You’re tired. Enough is enough.
I draw from specialized approaches like somatic strategies, inner child healing, intuitive work, visualizations, and building emotional vocabulary. All, so you can finally understand what’s really going on inside your mind and body.
No more trying to be perfect. No more tiring fights with your partner. No more feeling like it’s your fault when others hurt you.
It’s getting easier to speak up for yourself. Time with your family feels calmer. Your friends and relationships feel rejuvenating and supportive.
No more just surviving!
How my therapeutic approach can help
Your hesitation is valid. Trust takes time, especially when healing is involved.
I show up as a human in our sessions - warm, present, and probably fidgeting with something. I’ll help you tune in & uncover what your emotions are telling you. With enthusiastic hand gestures and collaborative conversations, we will create the life you deserve and want for yourself!
