LGBTQ+-Affirming Therapy

Being queer and Asian or BIPOC brings unique joys, strengths, and challenges. Navigating cultural expectations, family pressures, and multiple identities can sometimes be isolating and exhausting. I provide queer-affirming therapy for Asian, BIPOC, and multi-racial or multi-cultural individuals and couples, in a space that honors all parts of your identity — your queerness, your culture, and your origins and history.

Queer Asians or BIPOC seek therapy to:

• Navigate queer and/or gender identity and coming out within your family, culture, or community

• Explore relationships, dating, intimacy, or non-monogamy or polyamory

• Process cultural or intergenerational trauma, explore the impacts of religious colonization, or reconnect with your lineage on your own terms

• Explore how race, culture, gender, sexuality, class, migration shape your inner life and relationships

• Manage stress, anxiety, isolation or pressure to conform to social or cultural norms

• Developing a sense of greater self-acceptance and autonomy

I work from a culturally responsive and liberation-oriented lens, honoring both the visible and hidden parts of you — the queer, the Asian or BIPOC, the still-becoming — so you can move towards the life you truly desire. Therapy is tailored to your pace, your style, and your needs and desires, whether individually or with partners.

I provide queer-affirming individual and relationship therapy in-person Downtown San Francisco or Pacific Heights, and online to clients in California. I invite you to schedule a free consultation to explore how we might work together. You’re welcome to add your partner(s) to the call. I look forward to connecting with you.
