It's time- Stressed out & Burned out from everyday life and years of trauma, feels suffocating. Being fed up, defeated, exhausted, & fatigued. There's no place to recharge. Adulting, juggling kids, managing parents, and a job is even harder. It's a struggle of surviving Desi values in an all- American society HECK- being a Desi kid is hard. Life keeps getting harder and you have no choice but to keep going. Feelings of dread keep you up at night, disrupts your work, and destroys your relationships.
You are not alone. I've been there and can help. I do not judge or criticize. I offer a unique combination of talk, meditation, and art therapy. And I offer you a safe place to decompress and create a life you want to live.
Please don't see this as one more thing that you have to do. You’re worthy to have a calm & peaceful life. Please, call and ask for Priya (Pree-Yuh). Tele-health appointments are available upon request.
