Navigating identity, family expectations, and cultural pressures can feel complicated—especially when you’re caught between multiple worlds. If you’re Asian American, multiracial, or biracial, you might feel like you’re constantly code-switching, balancing different parts of yourself depending on who you’re with.

Maybe you feel pressure to meet certain family expectations, even when they don’t align with what you want. Or maybe you’ve struggled with the question: Where do I really belong? You might:

• Feel like you’re “not enough” of one identity or another.

• Carry guilt about setting boundaries or choosing a different path than what your family expects.

• Struggle to express emotions openly, especially if difficult feelings weren’t talked about growing up.

• Feel pressure to overachieve or take on the role of the “responsible” one in your family.

• Want to break cycles of stress and perfectionism but don’t know where to start.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. In therapy, you’ll have space to explore these experiences with someone who understands the complexities of being Asian American or multiracial. My work is also informed by The Modern Asian Parent, where I help families navigate the intersection of traditional Asian values and modern, evidence-based strategies.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we’ll work on:

• Identity and belonging – Feeling more secure in who you are, even when others don’t fully understand your experience.

• Overcoming imposter syndrome and self-doubt – Learning to trust yourself and stop feeling like you have to “prove” your worth.

• Balancing family expectations and personal boundaries – Honoring your culture while making space for your own needs and decisions.

• Breaking intergenerational patterns – Recognizing how stress, emotional suppression, or perfectionism were passed down and creating a healthier way forward.

• Building self-confidence and emotional resilience – Learning practical tools to manage stress, express yourself, and set boundaries without guilt.

Your experience is real, and it matters. You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your feelings—just a space to be you.
