My focus is on helping you with these aspects through understanding and personalized support. A lot of my clients come to me looking for clarity about their neurological differences and practical ways to handle everyday life. They want to understand themselves better and find strategies that work for them

My personal belief about therapy is that healing happens in relationships rather than through a specific theory or intervention. Much of the time, problems arise in relationship to other people or things, not by themselves so it makes sense to find and practice solutions in a therapeutic relationship with someone like me. Gaining new insight combined with action can be just what is needed to help you feel unstuck.

I work with children, teens, and adults who may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, relationship stress, or past experiences that continue to impact their present. Many come to therapy feeling stuck, overthinking, or unsure of their direction. Together, we create a safe and supportive space where they can slow down, better understand their patterns, and begin building the tools and confidence needed to move forward with clarity and resilience.

I've experienced the challenges of growing up navigating change and uncertainty. In a family that moved often, starting over in new schools made it hard to connect, build relationships, and left me anxious. Born in the Philippines and raised in the U.S. and Italy, I understand dual cultural identities, cultural expectations, and relationship challenges. I bring both lived experience and professional training to support healing.

Hello, my name is Qianru (Jean). If you have come here, you may be struggling with difficult emotions such as persistent anxiety, depression, or anger, or feeling lonely and unsettled in your relationships. In my clinical work, I often see these emotions not simply as problems to fix, but as meaningful signals pointing to experiences or needs that have not yet been fully understood. While learning ways to manage emotions can be helpful, lasting change often comes from developing a deeper understanding of ourselves and the patterns shaped by earlier attachment experiences or significant life events.

FAQ - Asian Counselling
What can an Asian therapist help with?
An Asian therapist can help with the same concerns as any other therapist, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. How an Asian therapist can make the experience feel different, however, is the possibility of shared cultural understanding. If you identify with a background such as Chinese, Korean, Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino, or Japanese, working with a therapist who shares or understands aspects of your culture may help you feel more comfortable opening up on such topics.

What role can language play in therapy?
Language can play an important role in therapy because people often express emotions, family dynamics, and personal experiences differently depending on the language they are speaking. For some individuals, working with a therapist who speaks their native language, whether it be Mandarin, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, or another language, may help sessions feel more natural and emotionally connected. Even if you are fluent in English, certain thoughts or feelings may still feel easier to communicate in your native language.

How can an Asian therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Cultural background can play an important role in couples counseling and family therapy, particularly when family expectations, communication styles, generational differences, or cultural traditions are influencing the relationship. An Asian therapist may help partners and family members navigate these topics with more cultural understanding and less need to explain the context behind them. For multicultural or multilingual families, a Asian therapist who is bilingual may also help ensure that each person feels heard and understood during sessions.

How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Asian clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask prospective therapists whether they have experience working with clients who share your cultural background or speak your preferred language. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might also ask whether they have worked with clients experiencing concerns related to identity, intergenerational conflict, family expectations, or cultural stigma around mental health.

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.
