Has asking for help been something you’ve struggled with? Perhaps you’re the type of person who has always figured things out—not because it came easily, but because you didn’t have much of a choice.
To the world, you are a go-getter, a hard worker, a problem-solver—someone who deeply cares about others, someone who has a lot going for them, and is mostly put together. To some extent you are. Despite all the odds, adversities, and challenges, you’ve made it this far.
However, if only people knew…
If people only knew how hard it is to be you some days. Your sadness feels much heavier, often accompanied by a deep sense of unhappiness.
If people only knew how unmotivated and unproductive you can feel despite your best intentions to get it all done. Not to mention the guilt that comes from not doing what you were “supposed” to do.
If people only knew you’re a worrier. You worry about everything: your future, your job, the people you love, the state of the world, the hostile political climate, and everything in between. And you wonder, can I make it through this time?
If people only knew how emotionally vulnerable you feel.
If this resonates, let’s talk. Taking the first step to ask for help is never easy.
On one hand, you may feel hopeful; on the other, nervous and think—what does seeking therapy say about me. It’s normal to feel both at the same time. These feelings are important, as they reflect a desire to better understand the complexities of your inner emotional world.
A little about me: My parents brought me to the U.S. when I was a child. Growing up “ni de aquí, ni de allá” has shaped who I am. It has guided me to become a therapist who is mindful of the complexities of immigrant families and individuals, with a particular focus on how bicultural and bilingual experiences impact mental health.
I’ve been a therapist for over ten years and licensed to work with individuals in NY and NJ. In addition to private practice, I also provide therapy through a NYC nonprofit serving underserved, undocumented, and uninsured individuals.
Fun fact: I’ve worked as a therapist across all five boroughs of NYC. As a New Yorker, I take great pride in this experience—it has allowed me to serve communities that reflect the one I come from.
