Anxiety brings about its unique set of challenges for adult children of immigrants. Early on, there's a natural tendency to prioritize the needs of others over your own. The weight of familial and societal expectations often fosters a strong urge to strive for everyone else’s happiness. Balancing your own needs alongside these expectations may create moments of self-doubt or guilt. It's common to worry about disappointing others and feeling uncertain about managing your anxiety. However, with therapy, you don’t have to face these challenges alone.
Let’s start by exploring the underlying roots of your anxiety, to identify patterns between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through this understanding, we'll work on reframing unhelpful responses while cultivating self-compassion. We'll also learn and implement healthier coping strategies, enabling you to rewrite your story.
As your therapist, my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly express yourself. I consider the cultural factors that may affect you, while integrating techniques from various approaches personalized to address your unique concerns. I aim to assist in navigating and empowering you to take control of your mental health journey.
