​"All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle" ~ Nikola Tesla

​
​FIRST-GENERATION
​
~Professionals, Students, Immigrants~


​Life may feel like a continuous balance between diverging identities, the past & future, and old conditioning & new possibilities. ​​
​

Picture
As a first-generation immigrant myself (and first-generation college graduate) I understand the unique obstacles this life-changing process brings.

Depending on your circumstances, taking this huge leap can be anything from exciting to confusing (all of the paperwork!) to terrifying.

Let's just say the obstacles are abundant!

Others like myself are often driven by perseverance, ambition, and an internal faith that a prosperous life is possible!

However, growing up with limited possibilities tends to leave a deeper emotional wound that may be permeating in your life long after you reached tangible ways of measuring success. 


​If you're the first one in your family to leave your country of origin, go to college, or are looking to break a cycle of what you've been told is possible, you may struggle to understand where it is that you truly belong.

​You may constantly navigate the pressure to assimilate into a new environment, while honoring the norms and beliefs specific to your own upbringing.

Navigating practical issues and emotional strain can show up in every day life in some of these ways:

Picture
 ~ Feeling alone and lonely 
 
 ~ Feeling like you don't belong
 
 ~ Difficulty relating to & connecting to others 
 
 ~ Stress, anxiety, & overwhelm
 
 ~ Feeling stuck 
 
 ~ Feeling different from those around you 
 
 ~ Pull between fitting in and standing out

 
 ~ Feeling like a stranger in your family

​​You don't need to abandon your dreams and visions for the future because of temporary struggles. Schedule a free consultation & see if I can help!
