Therapy for Asian-Identified Women

Welcome to a Space Where You Belong

You’ve carried so much for so long — the pressure to be perfect, the unspoken grief of your lineage, the weight of big emotions like rage, grief, shame and guilt, and the quiet ache of not feeling fully seen. 

Maybe you’ve been called the “strong one,” the “good daughter,” the one who has it all together. But inside, it can feel like you’re unraveling — anxious, overwhelmed, unsure of who you are outside of what others expect of you.

I work with Asian-identified women in their 20s to 40s who experience:

  • Anxiety, emotional overwhelmed or disconnected

  • Being stuck in painful cycles of self-doubt and shame

  • People pleasing and perfectionism

  • Relationship struggles and attachment wounds

  • Intergenerational and racial trauma

What therapy with me looks like

This is a space where you can breathe, where you’re not the only one, and where the complexities of your life and experiences are not only understood, but shared.

You don’t have to explain your cultural background or translate your family dynamics — I get it. I know what it’s like to straddle cultures, hold invisible expectations, and wonder if you’re “too much” or “not enough.”

Working together might look like:

  • Naming and feeling the emotions you’ve had to silence for years

  • Understanding the roots of shame and shifting long-held patterns

  • Learning how to hold love for your family while still choosing your own path

  • Learning how to navigate confrontations and conflicts

  • Resting without guilt

This is a space where you can be fully seen. Where your complexity is welcomed. Your voice matters. You matter.

Let’s reclaim your story — together.
