Therapy for Asian diaspora and Asian-Americans

Living in the Asian diaspora often means holding multiple realities, cultures, and identities. Many of us grow up navigating conflicting expectations, intergenerational and migration trauma, racism, and marginalization of our culture and origins.

Drawing upon both personal and professional experience, I offer culturally-responsive therapy that centers Asian and Asian American experiences, without flattening them into a monolith or erasing their nuances and diversity. This is a space where your complex history, cultural contexts, and lived experiences are centered and honored.

I work with Asian and Asian-American clients who are:

• Immigrants or descendants of immigrants

• Struggling with family expectations, obligation, and guilt, especially around sexual orientation and gender roles

• Personal, intergenerational, and collective grief and loss

• Navigating intergenerational trauma or religious colonization

• Living between multiple cultures and identities

• Experiencing challenges in relationships or workplaces shaped by cultural and racial hierarchies

• Navigating caregiver stress or burnout

• Developing critical consciousness of racism and colonialism and how they’ve shaped you and your relationships

I see both individuals and couples, holding a liberation- and decolonial lens, paying close attention to how race, class, gender, queer or poly identities shape your experience. I listen deeply, to both conscious and unconscious communications, honoring silenced parts of you to address the root causes of your challenges towards living the life you truly desire. I offer therapy in-person in Downtown San Francisco or Pacific Heights, and online to clients across California, including Los Angeles.

I invite to book a free consult call to explore how we might work together. I look forward to connecting with you.
