Through a culturally sensitive lens that incorporates understanding past relationships and behavioral patterns, my goal is to help each client gain understanding of the obstacles that are hindering their personal growth and help them find a clear path forward that is in line with their personal values.
My priority first and foremost is to build trust in the client-therapist relationship. It can be challenging to share painful thoughts and emotions with others, so I believe it is a privilege whenever I am allowed into someone’s internal world. I take a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy, working with clients to address life transitions, family or relationship issues, overwhelming emotions, and self-harm. Having worked extensively with ethnically- and gender- diverse populations, I especially enjoy helping young adults explore their sense of identity and find meaningful roles in their communities.

My philosophy is change starts from the inside out with a choice and realization that it is for our higher good. As part of the human experience, there are times when unexpected losses, betrayals or traumatic events can leave us feeling alone with a host of negative emotions, feeling stuck in grief, anger, bitterness, anxiety and depression.

My mission is to provide a culturally sensitive space for you.
Hello! I’m Asuka and I am here to help you create the life that you’ve always wanted for yourself. Living in a foreign country as a first-generation immigrant is both thrilling and daunting. The pressure to navigate a life without familiar guidance in a new setting can lead to feelings of frustration, challenge, and isolation. Whether you've been in the US for a short while or longer, the sense of not fully belonging can linger and impact your quality of life. Discovering your true identity, navigating challenges by yourself, and honoring your cultural roots in a foreign land is a perpetual voyage.

A culturally sensitive approach plays a huge role in my work as I assist individuals in navigating through their experiences.
Empathy, compassion, and the emphasis on the therapeutic relationship have been the foundation of my work. I have had a wide range of experiences with children, adolescents, and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. My style is collaborative in nature, as I support and guide individuals through the healing process. Other areas of specialization include helping individuals who struggle with low self-esteem and poor emotion regulation skills, as well as difficulties coping with significant life changes (e.g., relocation, divorce) and conflicts in relationships.

I find that the counseling process requires authenticity from both yourself and the counselor that you choose to work with. My approach is affirming and gentle, but also honest so that we can confront any stressors or obstacles in your life. I believe that mental health and physical well-being go hand in hand. I have experience working with survivors of brain injury, as well as clients managing chronic, acute, or terminal illness. I've worked with underserved populations, and a wide range of adults from diverse backgrounds. I aim to offer culturally sensitive and affirming care, and offer services in Farsi, in addition to English.

I'm committed to offering compassionate, culturally sensitive support, fostering a sense of safety and connection.
Life is full of surprises and not all are easy to handle. It's human to feel overwhelmed with work demands, adapting to a new country, navigating postpartum, managing family life, or facing relationship challenges. It's normal to experience self-doubt or pursue unachievable perfection at times. Feelings of anxiety, sadness, trouble sleeping, or impacts of past traumas might arise, making life more difficult. This is where therapy can make a significant difference, offering a space for self-reflection and strengthening your relationship with yourself and others.

I embrace an integrated humanistic, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach when collaborating with clients.
We are perfectly imperfect beings wholly deserving of authentic and meaningful lives. For many of us, we strive to feel heard, be seen, and accepted for who we are. Being disconnected from our truth can lead to feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and helplessness. Through the many seasons of our lives, we are met with unforeseen challenges that impact our ability to navigate life easefully. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of immense strength. When we feel lost or unsure of what to do next, inviting an empathic other on our journey can be a life changing experience.

It does take courage to set up that first appointment, and the fit between therapist and client is an important one for the success of therapy. I encourage my clients to ask questions and express concerns about therapy and determine whether my approach and style are a good fit for you. Some common reasons people seek therapy have to do with self-exploration, how to communicate better with people, and how to cope with stressful life situations. My approach is a collaborative one and goal oriented. My focus is to support you find healthier coping skills to manage the challenging situations life might bring.
