Many of my clients are navigating the unique challenges of living between cultures:

Homesickness & Displacement
Missing home, family, or the familiarity of your culture. Feeling like a permanent outsider. Guilt about living far from family or leaving your country.

Acculturation Stress
Pressure to assimilate while preserving your identity. Feeling judged by both your heritage culture and your host culture. Navigating different expectations about relationships, career, or family.

Cultural Identity
Feeling "too American" for your family and "too foreign" everywhere else. Questioning where you belong. Struggling to integrate different parts of your identity.

Intergenerational Conflict
Tension with parents or elders about life choices, career, relationships, or values. Balancing respect for tradition with personal autonomy.

Loneliness & Isolation
Living without your traditional support system. Making superficial connections but struggling to form deep friendships. Feeling misunderstood by people who don't share your cultural background.

Language & Expression
Finding it difficult to fully express yourself in English, or feeling like certain emotions only make sense in your first language. Bilingual therapy allows you to use whichever language feels right.

As a bilingual therapist who understands these experiences, I provide culturally-informed care that honors your background while supporting your growth.
