Seeking therapy takes courage.

Growing up between cultures often means living between stories—carrying the narratives of your heritage while writing new chapters in an adopted homeland.

The cultural narratives that surround us—about success, relationships, mental health, and what makes a life worth living—seep into our personal understanding so quietly that we often mistake them for universal truths.

We're all walking around with stories in our heads—stories about who we should be, what success looks like, how relationships work, and what it means to be a good person.

We live our lives forward but understand them backward. Every day, we make decisions based on the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we're capable of.

Your hurt feelings about injustice? They make complete sense. Your anger at systems that seem rigged against you? Valid. Your exhaustion from fighting battles that feel impossible to win? Completely understandable. These aren't character flaws or signs of weakness—they're human responses to real social realities.

‍When homework becomes healing

That moment when your therapist asks a question and every cell in your body screams "no."

The stories that shape our world aren't chosen at random.
