You’ve been powering through for so long it’s hard to slow down.

You’re usually the one helping others, but now you’re holding it all together with threads.
You might be:

✔ Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally shut down
✔ Struggling to sleep or focus during the day
✔ Carrying tension or pain you can’t quite explain
✔ Wondering if you’re burned out—or if something’s just wrong with you

You're not broken. You're carrying too much alone.

Meet Sheli

Hi, I’m Sheli.

As a bilingual therapist and BIPOC advocate, I provide care that honors culture, language, and lived experience. My practice is grounded in cultural humility and body-based healing.

I created this practice for people like you—people who are holding a lot, quietly. Professionals, caregivers, helpers. People who show up for others, even when they’re struggling themselves.

My team is here to help you slow down, breathe, and come back into your body. We use somatic practices, EMDR, and mind-body techniques to help you heal from the root—not just cope.

Healing is possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.
