About

Many of my clients describe life as feeling heavier than it should. They’re checking all the boxes - a good job, stable relationships, family approval, but they feel disconnected from their lives. Some find themselves impatient with people they care about. Activities that once brought joy feel like obligations. They may wonder: Is this just how adulthood feels? Am I being dramatic? For those who are Asian or Asian American, there’s often added invisible weight: a sense of not fully belonging anywhere, guilt about wanting something different from what their parents envisioned, and exhaustion from always needing to prove their worth.
