Is this you?
You came to the US in search of a better life, but so far it’s hasn’t been what you expected.
You’re in a blended relationship and are having a hard time understanding each other.
You parents brought you to the US when you were young, but now complain that you’ve become too Americanized.
You’re far from your home country and are feeling alone.
You live between two cultures and feel pulled in different directions.
You moved to the US with your partner, but one of you is unhappy.
Neither here nor there.
The decision to leave home in search of different opportunities is often a difficult one to make. While a new country may provide a sense of hope, leaving your home can also leave a lasting mark.
Perhaps you had no say in the matter and emigrated with your family as a child, growing up between two often contradictory cultures. Adopting local customs and practices is a natural part of migration, but it can also leave a family feeling disconnected.
The adjustment to a cross-cultural lifestyle takes time, and in the process you may find yourself sitting with complex and confusing feelings. What often suffers the most is your identity or sense of self. Who am I? Where do I belong? - are all questions that may arise. Even something as simple as pronouncing your name to others can create immense stress for you.
But it doesn’t need to be this way. You may not feel it now, but the ability to navigate different worlds is a strength and something that should be celebrated, not feared. Seeking multicultural counseling support is can help you get there.

How I help.
Growing up as an immigrant in the US, I had several experiences that mirrored those mentioned above. In turn, I have become passionate about helping others navigate their own life story, moving away from judgment and towards embracing themselves more fully.
While this type of work can take on many forms, I will work with you to unpack your past and present to help you uncover any values, goals, or dreams that are feeling compromised. Together we’ll work to rewrite your narrative and improve your relationships.
For couples, I will help you identify any unmet needs in your relationship and will teach communication skills to increase understanding and collaboration. Sharing the same perspective isn’t a requirement for a happy and healthy bond, but learning to understand and respect one another is.
