Asian Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
As a Hmong and Asian-American therapist, I provide culturally attuned, depth-oriented psychotherapy for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, cultural identity, family dynamics, and personal growth.
You may be experiencing a sense of disconnection due to chronic stress or being in constant survival mode. Unacknowledged or unprocessed experiences with trauma, injustice, grief, loss, and neglect, can lead to emotional, mental, and physical overwhelm. This can show up as overfunctioning, fatigue, dysregulation, burn out, numbing, people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, hyper-independence, procrastination, and negative self-talk. Life doesn't have to feel this way. Together, we will work toward cultivating a deeper sense of safety, connection, and resilience, helping you feel more grounded in mind and body.

Sometimes life piles up. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, college stress, addiction, exploring your identity, feeling burned out or feeling stuck, navigating relationships, or going through a transitional period, you don’t have to carry it all alone. I offer a non-judgmental space where things can slow down and start to make sense. Where you can speak freely, untangle what’s underneath the surface, and leave with new insights, language for your experience, and practical tools to feel more grounded, safe, connected, and in control again.

I help individuals and couples to work through relationship distress, trauma, and life stressors. Being in therapy takes courage, and it takes commitment to grow. While I meet my clients where they are, I have genuine care and concern for you and your family. I use a somatic whole-body and cognitive approach. I'm curious and interested in you and your experiences. As you find the freedom and joy that comes from processing and making lasting changes, we can celebrate this together.

I enjoy working with high-achieving professionals and leaders who carry significant responsibility in their organizations, families, or communities. Many are navigating burnout, pressure, trauma history, or the isolation that comes with being “the strong one.” I have particular experience supporting individuals from historically marginalized communities and those navigating complex systems and identities, while welcoming anyone seeking clarity, resilience, and sustainable success.

Psychotherapy is the intricate healing process of restoring parts of ourselves that we are struggling with. While we humans cannot choose what happens to us or make everything “right” to us, we have the power to alter how suffering affects us.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, but rather it is shaped by your needs and life experiences. Starting therapy can be daunting but I am here to make it feel less intimidating. It is my purpose to find what sets everyone apart, helping you discover and develop the tools you have within you. We are all human. With that comes imperfections, differences, and experiences that impact who we are. Therapy is a non-judgmental space to remind the inner critic that it does not belong. Humanity is strength. I value showing up authentically and genuinely. I am human too, imperfections and all, and I seek to remind you that you are not alone.

You might feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or the pressure to meet everyone else’s expectations while losing sight of your own needs. You may be used to being the one who keeps things together (the caregiver, peacekeeper, or dependable partner) and find it hard to prioritize yourself without guilt. Maybe you've focused on others who may have left you disconnected from what you truly want, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or struggling to trust your own voice. If you're looking for a warm, safe space to understand yourself, build confidence, and create a more authentic life, we may be a good fit.

As a first-generation Hmong American woman, I understand the unique experiences of navigating multiple identities, family expectations, intergenerational trauma, and the pressure to balance personal needs with collective responsibility. My lived experiences deeply shape how I show up as a therapist. I bring compassion, cultural humility, authenticity, and genuine understanding. I have a keen interest in working with first/second-generation and BIPOC individuals, and those experiencing trauma, debilitating anxiety, and OCD.

I'm drawn to clients who long for their lives to change, and those with traumatic histories of feeling like they're "too much," "not enough," or like they don't matter. These histories often manifest as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-defeating, intense emotions, perfectionism, relationship issues, suicidal ideation, self-injury, and dependencies. I am passionate about creating loving, deep relationships with clients that encourage taking risks and learning new ways of relating to oneself. As a mixed race, non-binary, abolitionist therapist, I aim to make intentional space for LGBTQIA2S, BIPOC, chronically ill / disabled folks.

Accepting new clients! Many of my clients come to therapy wanting to understand themselves more deeply, including how past experiences and relationships are still shaping who they are today. They're often navigating anxiety, life transitions (such as career changes, moving to a new city, family changes, etc), relationship dynamics, or intergenerational trauma. I primarily work with adults, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folx and first-and second-generation immigrants. I offer a sex-positive, nonjudgmental space to explore all of who you are, including how the past shows up in your body, your relationships, and your sense of self.

FAQ - Asian Counseling
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.
