asian / immigrant family dynamics

your personal healing ripples out in all directions

Do you…

  • feel frustrated or conflicted about the way things are within your family, but also don’t want to expose yourself to potential misunderstanding from others (and euro-centric therapists) when exploring this part of your experience and personal history?

  • want to make sense of your experiences growing up, and relate to your past — and present — in a creative and empowering way?

  • want to avoid having problems being attributed to simply ‘being Asian’ (and thus feeling like there’s nothing to be done about the situation) i.e. ‘oh, my Asian parents are just this way’?

  • want to engage in your current relationships in a different way than you’ve experienced growing up?

If you’re here, you’re most likely navigating multiple cultures, have a multi-faceted identity, and have a deep desire to be seen and accepted for the fullness of who you are

are these your heartfelt desires, too?

want more for yourself — without fear, guilt or shame running the show

co-create a vastly different future — while making peace with the past

shed aspects of cultural and familial expectations you find ill-fitting for your current self — without rejecting your racial identity

feel comfortable navigating shades of grey — while also having firm boundaries

you’re pioneering a new way of being

and therapeutic tools can help:

emotion regulation skills

reparenting inner child

strengthening sense of self & boundaries

nurturing yourself
