South Asian Therapists in Vancouver, WA
I work with people navigating the in-between parts of life: relationship struggles, family tension, parenting stress, career uncertainty, or the weight of anxiety and depression. Sometimes it's a major transition; sometimes it's things you've been carrying for a long time. Either way, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm not here to tell you what to do. You're the expert on your own life. My job is to walk alongside you, help you get honest about what's working and what's not, and figure out what you want to do about it. I provide telehealth counseling in English and Mandarin Chinese (華語) throughout WA and OR.

Are you feeling stuck in depression, caught in cycles of anxiety, or weighed down by experiences you can’t seem to move past? Maybe something about your life just doesn't feel right, but you're not even sure what that is, let alone how to change it. As a therapist, I don't have the secret to happiness and fulfilment. What I can offer is a warm, thoughtful space to think more deeply about what’s holding you back and begin moving forward in a meaningful way.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step towards investing in your well-being. I hope to hear from you. Human experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, trauma, abuse, and neglect can often lead to feelings of being stuck, social isolation, struggles with meaning making and spirituality, unmet needs, lack of self-awareness, incongruence, and hopelessness. Counseling can be an amazing resource in such times because we all deserve to be heard and seen in a safe place.

What aspects of your life are you feeling unhappy/stuck in? What ways do you nurture yourself? What, if at all, do you find yourself grieving? How would you like the relationship with yourself to change?
As a therapist of color, I prioritize working with clients with historically marginalized identities. My ideal client is someone motivated to investigate what may need to change to live a more authentic and meaningful life. My style is direct while also collaborative; shedding light to blind spots hindering growth. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families at many different capacities.

Seeing clients in MT, OR, and WA.
Think well of yourself for seeking support. Many of us are hurting right now. If you have experienced trauma, life is especially painful and difficult to navigate. You might feel unsafe in the world, unable to trust others, or sometimes don’t know how to trust yourself. You may feel shame, depression, or anger, or you may have terrible memories or images in your mind you just can’t escape. You may even freeze or have anxiety that feels out of control. It can be overwhelming and hard to know how to even start healing from trauma. There is hope for change, and therapy can help with this.

I aim to cultivate a therapy relationship that merges lived, desired, and present experiences with a long-developed capacity for understanding trauma. Clinicians are all unique. For me, it is an honor to support others living fully integrated lives as a temporary human diary. I am the proud witness of laughter, tears, triumphs, and perhaps (too many, these days) puzzles. But I do enjoy a puzzle, goal-oriented people, and if you don't quite fit into mainstream... you're in the right place.

South Asian Counseling
What can a South Asian therapist help with?
A South Asian therapist can help with the same concerns as any other therapist, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and major life transitions. What may feel different, however, is the possibility of shared cultural understanding. If you identify with a South Asian background, such as Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, or Nepali, working with a therapist who shares or understands aspects of your culture may help you feel more comfortable discussing topics such as family expectations, identity, religion, language, stigma, or intergenerational conflict.
How can a South Asian therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
A South Asian therapist can support couples counseling or family therapy by helping partners and family members explore how cultural background can shape roles, responsibilities, and expectations in a relationship. In some South Asian families, relationship dynamics may be influenced by expectations around marriage, gender roles, caregiving, religion, family involvement, or balancing individual needs with family obligations. These issues can affect mental health as well as relationship boundaries, parenting, communication, and major life decisions. A South Asian therapist can help you navigate these conversations with greater cultural understanding.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with South Asian clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with South Asian clients or clients from your specific cultural background. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask whether they have worked with concerns related to cultural identity, family expectations, intergenerational conflict, or stigma around mental health. You can also ask whether they provide therapy in your preferred language.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of South Asian therapists?
The directory of South 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 South Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
