You're successful by every measure, yet exhausted in ways you can't fully explain. You're the one everyone leans on. Translating not just language, but expectations, values, and versions of yourself. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you've lost track of what you actually want. I specialize in therapy for adult children of immigrants navigating guilt, people-pleasing, family pressure, anxiety, and identity conflict. Whether you're dealing with high-functioning anxiety, cultural identity stress, or a major life transition, you don't have to keep doing this alone.
Our work is a partnership. You set the pace. I combine EMDR (an evidence based method for processing old trauma your body still holds onto), DBT, and culturally informed therapy to help you understand the patterns shaped by your family and culture, and build real skills for anxiety, boundaries, and navigating change.
I'm Swetha, a LPC and child of immigrants raised between India and Pennsylvania. I understand this experience from the inside. You won't spend our sessions explaining your family dynamics from scratch. Whether we're processing experiences that feel heavy or working on skill building, I want you to leave each session feeling like you've gained something.

My core focus is adult children of immigrants — first and second-gen adults carrying anxiety, guilt, and identity conflict. I also specialize in high-functioning anxiety (the kind that looks fine on the outside), cultural identity and intergenerational trauma, and life transitions that carry extra weight when you're first-gen.

EMDR helps your nervous system process experiences that logic alone can't resolve — old memories, family stress, hypervigilance. DBT provides practical skills for managing emotions and setting boundaries. I layer these with culturally informed therapy so your background is part of the work, not an obstacle to it.
