As the daughter of multicultural immigrants, I learned early that a life of hustle would not necessarily create happiness. Growing up, my parents worked hard for success. But they were constantly worried about the future. They struggled to relax and enjoy the present.

My parents were stuck in an unfulfilling cycle of disconnection from themselves and the people around them. I wanted to break that cycle – for myself and for others.

From a very early age, I knew I wanted to become a therapist. I recognised that everyone has their own difficult journeys, and I felt deep compassion for the people I would meet. I’ve always been curious about people’s experiences and stories, and have been able to see the strength and resilience in others.

But I didn’t always know how to see my own strength and resilience. I was caught in a loop; feeling anxious thinking about my connections with others, my body feeling in overdrive, and acting in ways that I would later find embarrassing. My insecurities about myself were reflected in the way I tried to connect with others. I realised that breaking my family’s generational cycle of disconnection was easier said than done.

I’ve always been anxious about how I come across to others. I’ve found myself in relationships that didn’t allow me to be my true, whole self. I’ve felt like a burden to others. And when I became a mom, my understanding of my own role in the world was flipped upside down.

Through my psychology education – and receiving therapy myself – I learned to look beyond the rat race and appreciate the small joys in life.

I became present in the process, not just focused on the end result.

And my life began to feel fulfilling every day, not just when I was able to take a holiday and escape from my routines.

And that’s the reason I started my practice – to help people feel more fulfilled and connected in their everyday lives.

Through my work as a relationship anxiety therapist, I’ve come to understand that our well-being in life depends on how we view, process, and make sense of our stories.

Your story includes your daily behaviours, habits, emotions, and thoughts. But it’s also your history, your deep-rooted beliefs and traditions, and your unconscious patterns.

That’s why I want to help you create better ways of thinking, improve your relationships, and improve the way you cope with your worries on a daily basis.

Through our work together, you’ll feel more present in your own company and the company of others. You’ll adapt to situations and circumstances more easily. You’ll develop more reflection, satisfaction, compassion, and thoughtfulness. And you’ll feel more fulfilled in your daily life.
