If you’re reading this, you're probably a responsible, successful professional and the one everyone relies on, but inside, you’re overwhelmed. You usually say yes when you want to say no, and carry guilt, shame, and pressure to meet everyone’s expectations. You may also be a South Asian second or third generation, navigating relationship stress, generational trauma, and the struggle to set boundaries without losing connection. As you're reading this, I hope you feel seen. You’re not broken, you’re just carrying too much. Therapy can help you put some of that down and reconnect with what you need.
I specialize in supporting South Asian and BIPOC professionals burned out from over-functioning and ready for real connection. I offer a space that’s culturally sensitive, emotionally focused, and both supportive and direct, so you don’t have to over-explain and you get to the root of what’s really going on.
I understand the cultural nuance. If you’ve grown up with “what will people think?” or pressure to succeed, you’re not alone. My clients often balance tradition with autonomy, and success with self-worth. I’m not here to judge. I’m here to help you sort out what truly belongs to you and what you’ve been carrying for others.

It depends... No one likes hearing this, but the truth is that it really does depend on the client, and the issue we're working on that day, that will determine what therapy type we will use. If we need to change some negative thinking, then it's CBT; if you need to vent, then Supportive Therapy; if you're in crisis, we may need Problem Solving. So, it really does depend on what you need that day.
