Has everything looked like it’s going well on the outside, but inside you feel like you’re hanging on by a thread? Do you see yourself as “the fixer” or “the caretaker” with your loved ones, but feel as though you don’t have any energy left when it comes to taking care of yourself? Does it feel selfish to take care of yourself? Reaching out is a big first step in prioritizing your needs. I am committed to supporting you with warmth and compassion every step along the way. Together we can examine ways your old narrative no longer serves you and help foster a more peaceful and purposeful way of living.

Need someone to vent to? A cheerleader? Someone to challenge you? Need help finding coping skills? I am here to help YOU reach your goals. My approach to therapy is more Humanistic, which means that you are seen as an unique individual navigating through life instead of as a diagnosis. I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship is the foundation to creating a safe, trusting, and non judgmental place to have open communication so that we can explore the past, present, and future together.

Is it getting harder and harder to keep up with your everyday responsibilities? These days, it might be difficult to muster the motivation to do anything but the bare minimum. It feels impossible to slow down the racing thoughts and the constant waiting for the other shoe to drop…let alone get a good night’s sleep. Something may have happened recently that’s pushed you over the edge. It could’ve brought up emotions from your past, and though you want to move on, you’re not sure how. You’ve started to notice these problems affecting both your personal and professional life, and it feels like things might completely fall apart.

Asian Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
