Is This You?
Are you stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you? You put everyone else first, replay or rehearse conversations, say yes when you want to say no, and are hard on yourself. Then the resentment builds, and it comes out as a blowup or a shutdown. Then you feel awful about it, and the loop starts again.
Maybe you are even aware of the problem and this loop, but you just can’t help repeating it again and again.
I help anxious people pleasers tired of their emotions running the show learn how to take back control, speak up in a way they feel heard by others and do what’s right for them by getting curious about why they are stuck, addressing the root of the issues and collaborating on creative problem solving that’s just right for them.
My clients are overthinkers, anxious, people pleasers, independent, the eldest daughters, the responsible ones, the fixers, the self-aware, empaths, ADHDers, or suspect they could have ADHD.
My Approach to Therapy
Sustainable change includes mind AND body. I use CBT in addition to IFS/Parts Work & Somatic Experiencing. By combining the holistic mind and body approach, we work to release stored trauma in your body with attention to restoring safety and resilience at a nervous system level and rewire the beliefs that limit your relationship with yourself and others by getting to the core of understanding you and helping you shift your behaviors.
If you’ve ever felt anger go from 0-60, shut down from overwhelm, or got stuck in anxiety you can’t shake off – somatic/body work holds the key to understanding why and to change behavior intentionally.
Together, we move beyond traditional talk therapy’s “Band-Aid” approach of stopping at validating, coping, and managing towards addressing the ROOT cause of your struggles.
In our non-judgmental space, your story will be witnessed with compassion and empathy. You will be guided and gently challenged through self-exploration and healing tailored to you.
About Me
As a 1.5 Gen Indian-American woman, I understand the unique pressure of managing family expectations while trying to remain authentic to all of who you are. I know the frustration of living by “shoulds” and never feeling like you are doing enough.
I’m also a recovering people pleaser and ADHDer; I’ve worked through being avoidant, explosive, shut down, and stuck in cycles I couldn’t get out of, all of which took a toll on my health – so I get it.
I’ve been where you are – frustrated, lost, angry, heavy with grief. I did the hard work of healing and will continue to do so. Come as you are – afraid, anxious, unsure where to begin – you and all of what you bring to therapy is welcome!
