About
Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of everyone’s expectations? Does your family go to you for everything? Do you feel a sense of pressure from your culture? Or from your own community? Has it been hard to figure out where you fit in? Maybe you’ve always been the one who has it together, who keeps the peace, or puts others first, even when it leaves you feeling drained. You might feel guilty for wanting something different from what others expect, or stuck trying to balance your goals with your family’s hopes for you. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Therapy can be a space to finally exhale. I work with first-generation individuals of color who are learning to let go of people-pleasing, navigate generational and cultural stress, and reconnect with themselves. Together, we’ll unpack the pressure you’ve been carrying and explore how you can reshape your journey.
