First- & second-generation adults

Therapy for high-achieving first- and second-generation adults.

You did everything you were supposed to do. The degree, the career, the responsibilities. And somewhere in there, the anxiety, the burnout, or the question of who all of this is actually for.

Sound familiar?

You might be in the right place if…

  • Achievement has always been the deal, and rest feels like falling behind.

  • Anxiety or a racing mind is the constant background noise of your success.

  • You carry your family’s sacrifices with you, and it is heavy.

  • Perfectionism runs your schedule, and it might be older than you realize.

How we can help

What this work looks like here

Anxiety and perfectionism in first- and second-generation adults often have deep roots: immigrant-family expectations, cultural ideas about duty and success, and sometimes trauma that was never named. We work with those roots rather than just the symptoms, drawing on attachment-based, cognitive, acceptance-based, and somatic approaches.

Sessions are by secure video across California and New York, scheduled around a working life.
