I am a psychologist with 20 years of experience working with adults with a wide range of mental health concerns such as: anxiety, depression, career difficulties/transitions, perfectionism, experience eating &/or body image concerns, Asian-American and immigrant mental health concerns, racial trauma work, and work-life imbalance struggles.
Are you stumped on how to feel more seen, heard, and valued as your authentic self? I help my clients learn how to compassionately navigate these challenges and what it means to stay true to who you are or want to be in this new chapter. It can be overwhelming to look to start a new chapter in your career or personal life, exploring a new or shifting identity/ role, finding more balance between loved ones and work. My work focuses on collaboration to support your well-being, cultivating the courage and willingness to invest in you, building a community of support, and working to find ways to get unstuck from distress.

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.
