Build the life you deserve, one conversation at a time.
Virtual and in-person therapy for adults and couples navigating the space between family expectations, personal well-being, and the life they want to build.
You love your family.
You value where you come from.
You're grateful for the opportunities you've been given.
But carrying the weight of expectations, responsibility, and the pressure to make everyone proud can be exhausting. Somewhere between honoring your roots, building your own life, and trying to keep it all together, you may have lost sight of what you need.
You don't have to choose between caring for the people you love and caring for yourself. Therapy can be a place to make sense of both.
Being a first-generation adult often means living between two worlds.
Hi, I'm Elizabeth- and I'm so glad you're here.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who created Sage & Cedar Therapy for people who have spent much of their lives caring deeply for others—the ones who carry their family's hopes, traditions, and stories while quietly wondering, "What do I truly want for my life?"For many of us, our families and cultures have shaped us in beautiful ways. We come from people who are resilient, hardworking, resourceful, and strong. We learned how to adapt, persevere, and keep going—even when things were difficult.But being resilient doesn't mean we have to live in survival mode forever. We can honor where we come from while also creating a life that feels authentic to who we are.I built this practice for first-generation adults, individuals, and couples navigating the challenges of anxiety, stress, relationships, identity, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a space where every part of your story is welcome—the traditions you cherish, the expectations you carry, and the parts of yourself you're still learning to understand.Therapy is a place where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin building a life that honors both your roots and your future.Therapy designed for people who want to honor where they come from without losing who they are.
