I help SCARED and Anxious Asians
Does being a “good Asian” feel like an exhausting performance?
You’re always overthinking, working too hard to prove yourself, but it never feels like enough.
It’s like you’re stuck chasing perfection, but no matter how much you achieve, the goalposts keep moving.
Ace school? Check.
Land a “good” job? Check. But now what? Another job with a bigger paycheck?
Start a family because that’s “what you’re supposed to do?”
You avoid risks because failure feels impossible to face.
Deep down, you might even feel like you don’t deserve success, love, or happiness.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the truth: being perfect won’t stop the anxiety.
Achievements and and straight A’s won’t silence that inner critic.
Anxiety Therapy That Tackles Problems that Asian Americans Face
Not every therapist gets it.
The creeping anxiety as the holidays roll around.
The weight of cultural expectations that feels impossible to shake.
The guilt—that relentless, nagging guilt—that just won’t let you breathe.
They might not understand the unique challenges of being Asian American.
The pressure to crush it academically or professionally to make your family proud.
The unspoken rule to always put others first.
I do.
Here’s the thing—you don’t have to settle for a therapist who doesn’t really see you.
