Since childhood, I have strived to be a good child. At home, school, and church, I sought the recognition and praise of others. Lacking the courage to be free from the judgment and opinions of others, I always evaluated myself through their eyes. This led me to feel perpetually inadequate and insufficient. With others at the center of my life instead of myself, I naturally felt a sense of depression and emptiness and did not feel excited or eager to start each new day. From a young age I felt very little attachment to life due to feeling like something was so wrong with me and that I deserved to feel this way

You may be an adult who feels shaped by past relationships, childhood experiences, or complex trauma and are noticing how these patterns show up in your present life. You might struggle with relationships, identity questions, family of origin wounds, or major life transitions, especially while navigating marginalization or systemic pressures. You want to understand yourself more deeply, feel safer in your body and relationships, and live in a way that feels more authentic, connected, and aligned with who you truly are.

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.

Yoga, dancing, and swimming keep me grounded, and I’m usually eating something good (like NY pizza or Asian food).
I'm glad you're here!
My specialty is couples and individuals using CBT and emotion-focused therapies. I have loved helping clients with relational OCD, pornography, anxiety, depression, postpartum, and communication issues.

In a world where technology makes it possible to learn about virtually anything and anyone, it can be surprisingly difficult to learn about ourselves and our loved ones. This is where the beauty of the therapeutic journey lies. I have a particular passion for marrying empathy with evidence-based practices to support clients in building self-compassion while working through shame, relational challenges, and mental health struggles.

Life is difficult. It’s hard to engage in valued and meaningful actions when confronted with overwhelming emotions, unhelpful thoughts, and stressful relationships. As a neurodiverse (ADHD) and mixed ethnic person, I know the difficulties that come from navigating a world not built with your particular strengths/weaknesses in mind. I strive to help clients thrive in our imperfect and unfair world. As a published psychotherapy researcher, I use science-based tools to help clients regulate difficult emotions/thought processes, navigate difficult stressors/relationships, and explore their human experience in a culturally humble way.

It is hard to understand life as we live it. I work with people who are ready for a space to slow down and honestly look at themselves. Not just to alleviate symptoms or find practical solutions, but to make real contact with who they are. That kind of work takes courage, and it takes a dedicated space.

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 mainly work with people of all ages who have anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms, especially when the issues stem from toxic relationships with other people, systems, religions, or organizations. Feeling like we don't matter, like we're going crazy, or like we are all alone is a difficult feeling to have, and it only seems to get worse the longer it goes on. With some new tools and techniques, we can help you recognize that you're not crazy, that people care for you, and that you are stronger than you realize.

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.

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.
