Inter-racial and Inter-cultural Couples Therapy

Love across race, culture, and identity can be deeply enriching, and can bring unique challenges. I work with interracial and intercultural couples and polycules, including Asian-white, BIPOC, and queer interracial partnerships, navigating differences shaped by race, culture, migration, and intergenerational family history.

Couples often come to therapy because they:

• Feel stuck in conflicts rooted in race, culture, or family expectations

• Struggle with power dynamics, cultural misunderstandings

• Experience tension arising from intergenerational trauma

• Want to strengthen trust, intimacy, and attunement while honoring difference

My Approach

My work is psychoanalytic and liberation-oriented. Together, we explore:

• How race, culture, and power shape cycles of conflict

• How personal, intergenerational and migration histories affect each partner and the relationship dynamics

• Ways to communicate, build trust, and deepen attunement without erasing difference

I hold each partner’s lived experience with care, giving attention to impact as well as intent, while supporting your growth together as a couple.

I provide relationship therapy in-person in Downtown San Francisco or Pacific Heights, and online to couples from the Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Diego, and across California. East and South Bay clients are also welcome to combine in-person and virtual therapy.

To get started, I invite you to book a free 20-min consult call with your partner(s) to explore how we might work together and to discuss any questions you may have for me. I look forward to connecting with you.
