You may seem successful on the outside, but inside, you might feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck. Maybe you’re searching for an Asian therapist because you don’t feel seen or heard, even when you try your best. I understand what you’re going through. You could be carrying intergenerational trauma, cultural pressure, people-pleasing habits, or perfectionism. Stress from work, family expectations, identity struggles, or anti-Asian racism can affect your confidence, sleep, and emotional health. You want relief, clarity, and balance, while staying connected to your culture and value.
I’m an Asian therapist, born in Hong Kong, and I offer therapy that understands your cultural background. I work with Asian and immigrant adults, focusing on intergenerational trauma, anxiety, burnout, identity issues, and racial stress. My approach combines CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, self-compassion, trauma-informed care, and CBT-I for insomnia.
Seeking therapy doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It shows me that you’re ready to care for yourself in a new way. As a Cantonese-speaking, first-generation Asian therapist, I know the pressure to stay strong and not disappoint others. If you want a therapist who feels culturally safe and supportive, I invite you to reach out.
