South Asian / BIPOC Therapist

You deserve support that understands your culture, identity, and story.

  • Feel seen and heard without having to explain your cultural background

  • Navigate family expectations and identity with compassion and clarity

  • Build a life that honors both your roots and your personal path

You don’t have to Choose between your identity and your wellbeing. It’s possible to feel like yourself—fully, unapologetically.

You may be thinking:

“My parents love me… but they just don’t get it.”
“Mental health isn’t something we talk about. I’ve been told to just toughen up.”
“I want to honor my culture—but also choose my own path.”
“I feel selfish for wanting something different.”

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. And you’re not wrong for feeling this way.

You’ve been holding a lot for a long time.

Trying to live up to your family’s expectations while carving out a life of your own. Trying to stay connected to your culture while navigating the one you live in now.

Trying to be “strong” because that’s what’s always been expected of you.

But under the surface, there’s so much that goes unspoken.

You feel torn between worlds. Like you’re never quite enough for either. You feel lonely—even when surrounded by people who love you. And you wonder if there’s space to talk about it without guilt or being misunderstood.

When You’re Caught Between Cultures.

Being South Asian or a person of color often means carrying invisible expectations—spoken and unspoken.

Maybe you’ve been told not to share your struggles. Maybe you’ve heard therapy is a “Western idea.” Or maybe you’ve learned to keep your feelings to yourself.

But the weight of silence is heavy. Over time, that pain can turn inward—into anxiety, guilt, or emotional exhaustion.

It can feel like you’re always balancing your family's wishes, society's expectations, and your own needs.

But Here’s the Truth: You don’t have to keep carrying all of this alone.

How Culturally Competent Therapy Helps

Therapy with someone who understands your background means not having to explain everything. It means starting where you are, with someone who understands cultural nuance and identity struggles.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • How to honor your values while making space for your voice

  • Ways to manage guilt, pressure, and self-doubt

  • What it means to belong to multiple cultures—and feel whole

  • How to navigate family and relationship dynamics with more confidence

You don’t have to abandon your roots. You can carry them with you—while still choosing your own path.

What My Clients Say After Therapy

Clients often describe therapy as a place where they finally feel seen.

They begin to let go of guilt. They stop shrinking themselves to meet expectations. They start choosing themselves—without losing connection to who they are.

“I finally feel like I’m allowed to want more.”

“I’m learning to show up for myself without losing who I am.”

I've helped clients deal with cultural expectations, family issues, and identity challenges.

With a trauma-informed, culturally aware approach, I offer a space where your experience is valid—and you don’t have to explain why it matters.
