Specializing in intercultural matters, especially in Asian/Asian-American families, I tackle family conflicts, parenting challenges, guide self-positioning among roles and identities, fostering meaning and purpose.
Life, a canvas of hues beyond black and white, navigates the challenge of gray areas for an immigrant like me. In this complex journey, adapting to a new environment and managing personal and professional challenges is a constant juggling act. Distance from loved ones and cultural differences add layers, challenging the handling of mounting pressures. Whether a traveling student, in an international marriage, an elderly person relocating overseas with adult children, or a parent sending children back for upbringing, unique struggles arise from the intricate complexities in a foreign land.

As an Asian-American, career changer, and digital nomad, I’m attuned to issues of belonging and the complexities of moving between identities.
From the outside, you seem to have it all: a stable job, close friends, a good relationship. But when you’re alone, self-doubt, anxiety, and dissatisfaction creep in. You might compare yourself to others, ruminate about your imperfections or past mistakes, or dread the day that people see the real you. Perhaps you’ve lost sight of who you are, where you’re headed, and why you’re working so hard. Or maybe you find it difficult to slow down and enjoy your success. You want to feel better but find yourself stuck in old patterns and wondering how to make lasting change.

As an Asian American, LGBTQ+ identifying therapist, my experience may offer a unique perspective that helps you feel connected and heard.
Although the road to wellness is not linear, there is hope, and change is possible. Depression and anxiety, worry, stress, and feeling overwhelmed- these are all familiar concerns and normal in the human experience. We've all experienced it. Sometimes they can be difficult to manage and that's when talk therapy can be incredibly useful. But most important: I'm glad you're here. Let's build a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

As an emerging clinician who relocated from California to Massachusetts, I bring the unique perspective of Restoration Therapy. From childhood, we develop ways to cope with pain. Later on, however, these coping methods may no longer be effective. Restoration Therapy organizes a cohesive narrative of our pain, brings insight into our coping strategies, and equips individuals and couples with agency towards making healthier choices that reflect a restoration of identity and safety. I am passionate about bridging the connection between first and second-generation Asian immigrants and focusing on issues of faith and religious trauma.

My social location is a second generation Asian American rooted in immigrant and working class communities in NYC, Greater Boston, Quincy, and Seattle.
I believe the greatest gift a therapist can offer is full presence with a compassionate ear. Many clients seek therapy because something that was working is no longer working. This could be a gut feeling or something they "understand" intellectually. Maybe you feel stuck, unseen, anxious, angry, or "enmeshed" in your interpersonal relationships. Maybe there's estrangement or you are contemplating cutoff. Maybe you felt like nothing happened or is happening, but something feels out of place, or you feel out of place. In our therapy space, even if you take your shoes off at the door, you can bring your whole self.

Being an Asian American Indian helps to understand nuances of culture and the impact on your psychological well being.
You ask yourself "why did I just say that?" It's hard to stop thinking about how you messed up a conversation, a task, or an assignment. People say "you are too sensitive" when you share how you feel. You don't like how you speak impulsively. Your family and heritage are important to you but there is tension. You think about your past in negative ways and it's hard to focus on the present moment. It's hard to feel relaxed in your body. At times you feel restless and at other times stiff and numb. Feeling balanced is tough.

While I specialize in trauma-informed therapies such as EMDR, IFS, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, my clinical lens is also informed by my lived experiences as a queer, neurodivergent South Asian (Gujarati) cis-woman.
Do you ever come out a situation and find yourself questioning your emotional reactions? Do you ever find yourself playing mental gymnastics to avoid causing anyone discomfort only to then realize that you're utterly exhausted and have no spoons left for yourself? Maybe you're trying to make sense of your identity, navigate the world as BIPOC/queer/neurodiverse etc. while trying to simultaneously build healthy relationships, set boundaries, process past traumas, and exist in a capitalist society where your productivity is a measure of your validity (spoiler alert it's not; you're valid and your existence is more than enough).

Being an Asian (Korean) American therapist, I am sensitive to diversity issues.
Everyone has the capacity to reach full potential. When this occurs, one experiences an improved sense of self which creates freedom to make decisions that create and sustain meaningful experience in relationships and work. Life can actually feel like it's starting anew. More often than not, answers to repetitive patterns in unfulfilling relationships and negative feelings about the self can be traced to the past. Once goals have been identified, I work with clients in a supportive and collaborative way so that a constructive and meaningful understanding of one's life, with improved ways of coping, can occur now.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

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.
