Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like something’s missing, even though you’ve tried to do everything "right"? Maybe you feel guilty, never quite measuring up to others' expectations, even when they don’t align with what's best for you. As an Asian American woman, I know how hard it is to balance cultural pressures, family obligations, and your own needs. Perfectionism and the drive for high achievement can make it even harder, leaving you overly critical of yourself. You might also struggle to communicate your needs or advocate for yourself. It's exhausting, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Together, we’ll make sense of these struggles, so you can let go of guilt, feel at peace, and make choices that truly align with you. I take an active approach, offering insights, practical tools, and homework to help you create real change between sessions. You’ll learn to unhook from unhelpful patterns, trust yourself more, and step into an authentic life.
Let’s talk and see if we’re a good fit. I offer a free 20-minute consultation to answer your questions and help you take the next step. Click "Email Us" or text me—I typically respond within 24 hours and provide secure HIPAA-compliant online therapy Monday–Friday.
