Hello! As a South Asian woman of colour, I have grown up and experienced living in a multicultural society, balancing the different identities that may come from being a child of immigrants as well as having peers of differing backgrounds. This has helped me develop a unique understanding of the experiences of those similar and different to me. I understand that our cultural upbringings, beliefs, and values may both help and hinder us in some ways as we grow into who we are today. We are made up of so many parts that make us who we are, and that is so important to understand and work with for your mental health and wellbeing.

Fighting this anxiety feels like being at war with your own mind—and losing. Obsessive loops, incessant worry, trying to do things just right so you won’t feel this way. It’s exhausting. People try to reassure you, maybe you’ve even tried therapy, but the comfort and validation offer temporary relief at best. You realize what you’ve been doing isn’t working, and you want a therapist who is going to actually help you make a change, not just listen and offer comforting words.
