Culturally grounded and relationally attuned therapy to honor your story, navigate change, and make meaning in life's in-between moments.

THE POWER OF “THE IN-BETWEEN”

Liminal spaces are the thresholds of life—the transitional places where one stage ends, and another begins. They are the moments when we’re no longer who we were, but not yet who we’re becoming. These spaces, though often uncomfortable or uncertain, hold the potential for transformation.

In therapy, the in-between becomes a sacred space to pause, reflect, and make meaning. For many, these spaces reflect not just personal transitions but also the broader intersections of identity, culture, and history. Together, we can honor these layers of meaning as we move toward healing.

It’s where we can hold the complexities of grief and hope, fear and courage, loss and possibility—all at once. These spaces invite us to explore questions like: Who am I now? What does this change mean for me? Where do I go from here?

Rather than rushing through these thresholds, therapy allows us to linger, to honor the in-between as a powerful place of discovery and transformation. Together, we can navigate these moments with curiosity and care, creating room for new understanding, connection, and a sense of wholeness.

"The present is both the record of what we are ceasing to be and the seeds of what we are in the process of becoming"

Rosi Braidotti
"To heal, we must untangle the stories that we carry."

Hi, I’m Lielah.

As a first-generation Black Pinay and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. I approach therapy with culturally and historically attuned perspectives, recognizing how systems of power, cultural roots, and historical forces shape your story. I believe your identity and experiences are rich, multi-layered, and deserving of thoughtful exploration and understanding.

My work is guided by liberatory perspectives, which means centering your lived experiences while exploring the possibilities for growth and healing that emerge when we honor the complexity of your life. I see therapy as a space for reflection, exploration, and action—a place to untangle the threads of your story, make meaning, and navigate the transitions and challenges that define the in-between spaces of your journey.

Whether you’re grappling with grief, navigating trauma, or feeling the weight of systemic pressures, I strive to offer a compassionate and grounded presence. Together, we’ll create space to reflect, heal, and move toward the possibilities that feel most meaningful to you.
