Nurturing your authentic self in a demanding world.

Ready to work with an expert who really gets you?

Not just any therapist can take you where you need to go.

We were raised to be high-achieving. We grew up with very specific parameters for “success.” We were told that being vocationally and financially stable was the most important goal in life. Now that we’ve completed the education and have the career, we’re wondering, “Is this really it?”

Where is the part where I feel fulfilled?

When the work day is done, we turn to food, TV, and shopping to find…peace? Joy? Or are these things coping mechanisms for something deeper?

Many high-functioning Asian American women worked so hard to get to a good place in life, only to discover that something is missing. While we were busy forging that path to success and getting to the next thing, we may have missed opportunities to figure out who we are. Our families may have helped us understand what it takes to survive but here’s what we didn’t learn:

• The skills and perspectives needed to be happy

• How to effectively manage stress and anxiety

• How to create and sustain deep and loving relationships

• How to stop prioritizing being “nice” over our own needs and wishes

• How to cope with anti-Asian racism

It’s not too late to heal, learn, and grow. You have the capacity to create the life you want. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Here are the areas I focus on with Asian American women in their 30s and older.

• Emotional intimacy with friends and partners

• Marriage vs long-term partnership or singlehood

• Do I want children?

• Self-acceptance

• Nurturing and expressing your authentic identity

• Accessing states of flow, deep relaxation, ease

• Understanding and processing childhood trauma

• Career pivots and transitions

• Burnout

• Intergenerational trauma

• Stress and anxiety management

In this chapter of your life, let’s focus on your whole self.
