You’ve always put others first. You're keeping the peace, meeting expectations, and making sure no one is disappointed. But lately, it’s exhausting. You feel guilty setting boundaries, struggle with family dynamics, and wonder if you’ll ever feel truly at ease. Stress, self-doubt, and people-pleasing have taken a toll on your well-being. You want to find balance between honouring your cultural values and prioritizing yourself, but you’re unsure how. Therapy can help you untangle these patterns and build the confidence to make choices that align with your needs and not just everyone else’s.
I focus on helping South Asian women navigate family conflict, people-pleasing, and self-care. Our work together will help you set boundaries, process guilt, and feel more in control of your life. You deserve a space where you don’t have to filter yourself - a space where you can heal, grow, and build a life that and build a life that feels like your own.
Change is possible, and it starts with one step. If you're ready to explore a new way of relating to yourself and others, I’d love to support you. Head to my website or e-mail me to book a free consultation and see if we’re the right fit. Your well-being matters and you don't have to suffer in silence.

I use a trauma-informed and culturally attuned bottom-up approach including somatic, mindfulness, and brainspotting therapy. The bottom-up approach suggests that feelings and sensations first appear in the body. The body has the tools to access stuck points and help heal trauma. Together, we will foster safety in the therapeutic space, which can allow for powerful shifts from within.
