Therapy for Asian American Adults in the Bay Area
Culturally informed support for anxiety, perfectionism, identity concerns, and family or relationship stress.
Despite checking off many life milestones, you may still feel overwhelmed, conflicted, or emotionally exhausted. Many Asian American adults struggle with internal pressure, cultural expectations, and the feeling of “having it all together.”
I provide therapy for Asian American adults who want space to explore their emotions, values, and relationships without minimizing their cultural experiences. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and grounded in an understanding of how family, identity, and systemic factors shape mental health.
Do any of these feel familiar?
Chronic anxiety or overthinking
Perfectionism and fear of disappointing others
Difficulty setting boundaries with family
Guilt around prioritizing your own needs
Relationship stress or emotional disconnection
Feeling “not enough” or “stuck” despite achievements
Identity confusion
Pressure to meet expectations (both internal and external)
Asian American Therapy with Cultural Awareness
As an Asian American psychologist, I understand how cultural values, immigration history, and family roles can shape emotional experiences. Therapy with me is not about blaming family or rejecting culture, it’s about understanding patterns, honoring your values, and creating healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
I work with adults across the Bay Area who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, family conflict, identity exploration, and relationship challenges.
