***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

If you're a South Asian couple (ages 22 to 35) attempting to navigate challenges in your relationship, I see and hear where you're coming from. Although you may have similar relationship desires to other couples, you are probably also navigating complexities around family & cultural expectations along with the different ways you or your partner's upbringing may be impacting how you show up in your relationship. This in turn could be bringing up a mix of emotions for you and your partner such as resentment, loneliness or guilt. You might also feel stuck on where or who to turn to with your challenges due to the fear of being judged.
