Self-exploration is probably the most challenging but highly rewarding journey you can take in your life. The narrative you hold about yourself is based on your lived experiences. It's a combination of controlled and uncontrolled events. It's often the uncontrolled events/experiences in your life that take a gripping hold, disempower you, frighten you and disable your ability to function. Getting control of your circumstances is truly liberating. Reaching that freedom of choice takes courage, perseverance, resilience and grit. Let’s access all of those strengths within you and get started.

I continue to feel humbled by the power of therapy. Therapy will heal your pain. But it will not just relieve your suffering, a strong client-therapist fit will allow you to bear witness to the strength that comes from the courage of confronting the vulnerability within ourselves. Looking for a therapist should feel like buying a car- it needs to feel right, cost right and look right. Because that feeling of trust and safety is crucial to creating a space of brutal honesty as you begin to identify and explore your conscious and unconscious obstacles to equip yourself with the emotional tools and healing you seek.

It's a struggle of surviving Desi values in an all- American society HECK- being a Desi kid is hard. Adulting, juggling kids, managing parents, and a job is even harder. Life keeps getting harder and you have no choice but to keep going. Feelings of dread keep you up at night, disrupts your work, and destroys your relationships.

This may not be an easy time in your life and I respect your courage to reach out for help. Hiding fear of failure or family pressure to be perfect and make it look effortless is a daily struggle. I know you can be overwhelmed. Frustrated and angry. I have lived it and have decades of experience. After facing the pressure from parents, peers, or yourself, you need a place to sort out who you are and how you fit into these pieces. You may be looking for a safe place to work through your challenges, such as when you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or even a unique cultural experience that you feel nobody understands.
