Therapists in Portland, OR
As a first generation immigrant, Vivien understands how the complexities of living in between two or more cultural worlds can cause us to question ourselves and our boundaries, and diminish our values and wishes for the sake of others. I support individuals to understand themselves and their histories so that they can work toward goals of developing more fulfilling relationships, progressing academically and professionally, healing from complex trauma, and gaining a sense of balance and confidence as they navigate life in a complicated world.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of unhealthy relationships, self-doubt, or never-ending worry?
You’re not alone—and there’s a reason why healing feels so hard.
As a South Asian therapist, immigrant, and person of color, I deeply understand the burden of intergenerational trauma, rigid gender roles, and family expectations that often shape our lives in complex, painful ways. I also recognize how isolating it can feel to exist in a consumer-driven, performance-focused society—especially when you're still trying to find your tribe.
