Asian Therapists in Austin, TX

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, maybe you have asked yourself questions like “will they “get” me?”, “do they know what it’s like to feel torn in multiple directions?” Or maybe, if you are anything like me, you have asked yourself “is there something wrong with me?”, “where are the therapists that look, even vaguely, like me?” As a half- Asian , bicultural woman of color, I’m passionate about supporting others who live at the intersection of multiple identities.

I am honored to have the opportunity to walk with you in your journey. Trusting others can be hard, and I am committed to cultivating a safe place where you can share your story. My goal is for you to feel empowered to explore and share your fears and joy. Every person has faced challenges, and and I hope to create a safe place for you to be fully seen and celebrated. As you navigate the terrain of your life, I look forward to providing you with a listening ear and self-advocacy tools and strategies. Together, we will pursue healing and help you discover the courage and resiliency you have to meet life's challenges.

My goal is to support your growth and help you examine the impact of the cultural systems in which we live. I often treat clients who suffer from anxiety and OCD, and I help them understand how cultural systems may have reinforced those conditions. While anxiety is a natural part of the human experience, too much can be maladaptive. Influenced by evidence-based and Buddhist mindfulness approaches, I help clients examine and confront the root cause(s) of their anxiety, find better ways to manage it, and ultimately pursue a life that is consistent with their values.

I believe that the quality of the relationship with your therapist is fundamental to healing deep emotional pain and can help you grow into your most authentic self. Through genuine and trusting collaboration, I will create a warm, accepting, and empathetic space where you can feel both vulnerable and safe. We will honor your strengths, identify your goals, and examine the thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you. I acknowledge the importance of your many intersecting identities and unique lived experience, and I utilize an integrative, curious, and compassionate approach tailored to your needs.

I work with Asian American and other bicultural adults who want to live their best lives. My therapeutic approach is informed by a social justice perspective, evidence-based methods for managing anxiety, and a deep understanding of the intersection at which cultural & racial identity meets mental health.

I’ve enjoyed providing therapy to individuals, partners, and families across the lifespan. I will compassionately collaborate with you to explore beliefs and behaviors, sources of pain and resilience, and develop new ways of being so you can live in clarity and connection—with yourself and with others. Your background and context is important to me, and I hope to provide a therapeutic experience where all the parts of you can be known and supported.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought that you should be further along in life by now? As an Asian American, you feel unsatisfied with where you are currently at in life, but you don't know where you should be headed. You might even feel like you lack the confidence to pursue your dreams. Because of these struggles, you might also find it hard to connect with your loved ones.

Hello and welcome! My area of focus is providing culturally competent counseling to individuals of varying mental health difficulties. I work with clients with various presenting issues, including anxiety and depression, OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and addictions. In addition to being a licensed therapist, I am completing my PhD in counseling. My intersectional identities as an Arab- Asian woman from a Muslim background allows me to experience understanding and empathy for those from varying backgrounds and identities.

Accepting new clients! - Are you struggling with your identity or traumas? Do you need help managing the multiple stressors in your life?

I know firsthand how daunting it can be to reach out, so I strive to make the therapeutic process as calming and grounding as possible. If you're ready to make a change, or even if you're on the fence, I would love to work with you.

The goal is for my clients to walk away with the same curiosity and unconditional positive regard for themselves that I cultivate with them in our sessions. Through the gentle untying of the knots of trauma along with reinforcement of strengths and resources, the internal compass can once again be recalibrated toward joy, with intention and self-compassion. Sessions with me involve curiosity, education, and concrete practices that will help shift your perspective on your internal and external experiences, and give you the knowledge necessary to get you back in the driver's seat of your life.
