You've always been the one who holds it together — the responsible one, the achiever, the peacemaker. The one who translates between two worlds without anyone teaching you how. From the outside, you're managing. On the inside, you're exhausted from carrying expectations that were never fully yours to carry.

I'm Anjalee, a South Asian therapist and the child of immigrants. I understand this particular exhaustion — not as theory, but as something I've lived and continue to navigate myself.

My work centers on South Asian adults in their 20s and 30s who are high-functioning on paper and quietly struggling underneath: anxiety that shows up as overthinking, a nagging sense of never being good enough, guilt around boundaries, or a disconnect between who you are and who you were raised to be.

Using a relational, psychodynamic approach, we won't just manage symptoms — we'll explore where they come from. That often means looking at family dynamics, cultural expectations, and the roles you've played for so long that you've lost track of who you are outside of them. Together, we'll name the patterns that keep you stuck and build toward a version of yourself that isn't defined by everyone else's needs.

If you're looking for a therapist who understands the specific weight of navigating two cultures — and won't ask you to explain the basics before you can get to the real work — I'd love to talk.
