Do your parents still disapprove of you, even as an adult? Are you stuck feeling like you’re never good enough? You bend over backward to make others happy, but when it comes to taking care of yourself, you feel guilty. Maybe you’ve even been called “selfish” by your family, and that word still stings. You want to break free from this cycle, but figuring out where to start feels overwhelming.
You’ve tried therapy before, but those “white” therapists didn’t get it. They didn’t understand your culture, your background, or how deeply this struggle cuts.
I see you. I’ve been there. I help Asian American adults who wrestle with perfectionism, guilt, and self-criticism find their way to freedom. I know what it’s like to grow up in a family where you feel like you’re never enough, always shrinking yourself to meet expectations. I know what it’s like to constantly put everyone else first, to push down your own needs out of fear, guilt, or shame.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to stay stuck in this pattern. You can break the rules that keep you small. You can figure out what you want and start living for yourself—without the anxiety, guilt, and self-criticism weighing you down. If you’re ready to take that first step toward freedom, let’s talk.
Book a free 15-minute consultation and let’s explore how therapy can help you rewrite your story and finally put yourself first. It’s time to claim the life you deserve.
