Meet Judith Kanu
As a first-generation immigrant daughter, I know what it's like to achieve so much to make your family proud, yet something still feels off. You’ve tried to balance the weight of cultural expectations, while wanting to create a life that feels true to you—but it’s exhausting. Finding yourself caught between honoring your family yet needing space to breathe plus express your unique self. If you're struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, or pressure to please others, know that you're not alone. Together, we’ll honor your cultural values while finding your voice, healing childhood wounds, & creating a path of peace & fulfillment.
Trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) + Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), I use these methods to help you process trauma & stress in a safe and effective way. In addition, I integrate mindfulness & yoga to support you in managing anxiety & reconnecting with your body. My approach is holistic, so you can feel grounded & empowered.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward feeling more at peace with yourself, submit a request through my website to schedule a consultation. Let’s explore how we can work together to help you create a life that feels truly fulfilling.

I work with clients to identify their goals and develop a personalized treatment plan that incorporates a variety of techniques, including mindfulness, body awareness exercises, Self-exploration, bilateral stimulation, cognitive defusion, and value clarification.
I often integrate several techniques based on what is most effective for the person in front of me.
