As a first-generation Asian immigrant to the U

Many of us long for deeper connections, for more authentic living, or to break old patterns that no longer serve. We try and try, but something continues to get in the way. It could be unhelpful thoughts, intense emotions, anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, lack of skills, etc. My goal is to start where my clients are at and to listen deeply in order to accurately assess how we can best work together. I offer a compassionate, objective perspective to help you see more than the things that have you stuck.

I work from an emotionally focused and Internal Family Systems framework, and at the center of both is this: every part of you that shuts down, keeps the peace, goes critical, or disappears into compliance has been doing something important. It learned what it learned. It protected what needed protecting.
We will explore how those parts — yours and your partner's — have shaped the patterns between you. By compassionately witnessing what those parts have been guarding, we create enough safety for something more honest to come through. What changes is not just how you fight. It's how you know each other.

To better understand one's personal journey, after being granted that permission, I practice patience and empathy. I invest in reflective listening, cultural humility, passion, and inclusivity grounded in my own relevant lived experiences, rather than leaning into client care with colonized White assumptions. And I may practice gender-affirming care or focus on it for my dissertation, yet I also acknowledge and invest in change as gender and sexuality evolve. It means we can be included in supporting client-preferred gender-affirming care.

Have you felt like your life is like the famous 'This is fine' dog meme? You know, the one where the cartoon dog sits calmly in a room engulfed in flames, insisting everything is okay? Life can often feel that way—chaotic, overwhelming, yet we keep telling ourselves it's fine, as if saying so will make everything ok.
But pretending everything is fine when it isn't takes an enormous toll. As a licensed clinical mental health therapist, I specialize in helping people who are ready to move beyond survival mode and create genuine positive change.

Hi, my name is Marquita (she/her), and I’m so glad you’re here. Therapy can be challenging and takes courage, but the transformation that can come from it is absolutely worth it. I became a therapist because I believe every human deserves to be deeply seen and understood. Only then can true healing begin—and that’s what I’m committed to offering you each time we meet. I hold empathy, cultural awareness, and deep respect for each person’s story. The challenges of growing up and raising a family in a culture different from my own have helped shape the empathy and understanding I offer in therapy.

As a PhD marriage and family therapist, I have successfully helped couples, families, individuals and college students find happiness in life. I believe everyone has the power to change.

I've found that everyone I've met with in therapy can change and be happy if they want to. Morning, day and evening sessions available.

All are welcome! I work the most with individuals and couples that are navigating multiple intersecting identities and mental health concerns. As a trans veteran, I find it easy to connect with members of the LGBTQ and veteran communities. I can help members navigate life and the nuances that come with those identities by drawing on experience, training, and education. Clients often find that not having to explain things that feel basic really makes therapy accessible. This baseline can help the navigation of trauma and PTSD to feel less dark and lonely.

Life can feel overwhelming when old wounds or present stressors leave you feeling stuck. You may notice yourself repeating patterns you don’t want, struggling to trust yourself, or carrying a heaviness that makes it hard to show up fully in your relationships and daily life. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Healing begins with being seen and supported. Reaching out for help is a brave step, and together we can create the safety, space, and compassion you need to begin moving toward the change you long for.

I derive joy working with individuals with ADHD, autism, or who are navigating life transitions, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to find their footing. I find fulfillment by working with individuals dealing with low self-confidence, grief, a lack of support, or questioning long-held beliefs during a faith transition. These experiences can feel incredibly isolating, and many of my clients come to therapy feeling like they have to carry everything alone.

Do you feel deeply, think a lot, or sometimes wonder if you’re “too much” or “not enough”? Maybe you’ve struggled to make sense of the different parts of yourself — the driven part, the anxious part, the self-doubting part. I work with people who are ready to better understand themselves from the inside out. If you're drawn to personal growth and want more than just symptom relief, you're in the right place.

You may feel disconnected from yourself or others, carrying pain that has been overlooked, misunderstood, or minimized. Perhaps anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, or emotional numbness are showing up in ways that feel confusing or exhausting. You want more than coping—you want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, heal what’s been wounded, and experience deeper connection, meaning, and a sense of belonging in your life.

Hello there! I am a licensed psychologist experienced in conducting several different evaluations. Evaluations I provide include testing for ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, psychiatric/psychological conditions (e.g., ODD, OCD, PTSD/trauma, anxiety-related, depressive disorders, personality disorders, etc.) and learning disabilities for those seeking accommodations for exams, schooling, and social security benefits. I also conduct pre-mission evaluations. I am known for being very thorough in my evaluations and give specific, evidence-based feedback and resources in my follow up sessions. I'm not currently accepting therapy clients.

Anxiety can overwhelm us when a situation is important or meaningful. If it wasn't important, then anxiety wouldn't be there at all. When mental health is compromised, what is most important becomes affected, such as relationships, health, and spirituality. Somehow you've be able to push through until now. If you're exhausted, lost, and hopeless, I can help. We will work on gaining insight to understand what's going on in your life, and what to do about it. Often healing occurs along the way. You will use your strengths and gain skills. You CAN overcome what is holding you back. You CAN engage with the important parts of life again.

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.
