Therapy for Multicultural Identity + Belonging
For adults who live between cultures, families, and expectations, and are tired of editing themselves to fit. In person on Mondays in Echo Park and online throughout California.
Too Much for One Side. Not Enough for the Other.
"I feel like I'm too much of one thing with one side of my family, and not enough of it with the other. I'm always adjusting how I talk, what I share, or which parts of myself I make visible. Sometimes it feels like I don't fully belong in either culture, or that I have to prove I'm enough to be accepted by either side."
Maybe you've also said:
"I never learned the language, and my grandparents and I can't really talk."
"I'm the translator, the bridge, the one who explains everyone to everyone."
"My family is proud of me and also thinks I've become someone else."
"I don't know who I am when no one is watching."
You Shouldn't Have to Pick One Part of Yourself
You can coexist as different parts.
You can be proud of where you come from and conflicted about parts of your family’s beliefs. You can want closeness with your culture while grieving what was never passed down. You can feel at home in many communities and still feel like an outsider in all of them.
You may feel left out when you don’t fully fit in either culture or side of your family. None of that means something is wrong with you. It means you've been holding a lot.
Therapy Where You Don't Have to Translate
Culture isn't a side topic. It shapes family roles, how love is shown, what gets talked about, gender, sexuality, faith, and what success is supposed to look like. You get to bring all of it in without explaining every reference first.
What Therapy Can Help With
The goal isn't to make the contradictions disappear. It's to help you figure out what belongs to you.
What therapy can help with:
Family expectations and complicated loyalty
Mixed race, biracial, and multicultural identity
Being a child of immigrants or the first in your family to do something
Language loss and cultural disconnection
Racism and colorism, inside and outside the family
Sexuality, faith, or values that don't match what you were raised with
Feeling like a different person in every room
I bring lived experience and cultural humility to this work.
As a multiracial therapist, I understand how layered and nuanced these wounds can be.
If belonging has always felt complicated, let’s talk.
