Therapy for Second-Generation Immigrants & Children of Immigrants in San Francisco & California
If you were raised in the U.S. by immigrant parents — caught between two cultures, two languages, or two sets of expectations — this page is for you, whether or not you've ever used the term "second-generation immigrant" to describe yourself
Support for Growing Up Between Cultures
Growing up between cultures comes with pressures that are hard to name, let alone explain to someone who hasn't lived them. I offer therapy for second-generation immigrants and children of immigrants in San Francisco and online throughout California — a space to make sense of what that weight actually feels like.
What We Explore in Therapy
In our work together, we explore the unique pressures of growing up between cultures: the drive to succeed, to honor your family's sacrifices, and to make their journey "worth it," even when that weight feels overwhelming.
Many clients also carry a quiet grief around feeling disconnected from their homeland, their mother tongue, or parts of their identity they were never fully able to claim.
Building a Grounded Sense of Self
Together, we make sense of these layered experiences, untangle inherited expectations, and work toward a more grounded, authentic relationship with yourself, your family, and your cultural roots. This isn't about choosing between cultures — it's about finding where you actually stand.
