As a first-generation immigrant, my expertise is working with first generation and second-generation Asian American couples and biracial/interracial couples on dealing with cultural differences and ways to strengthening their relationships.
Expressing love and affection which was not taught or modeled for us as children by our caregivers. In couples therapy, we explore deeply as a couple on our cultural beliefs, assumptions or fears that are connected to our behaviors and these unintentionally behaviors could be the challenges with building and maintaining romantic relationship. Through couples therapy, we can work together on finding ways to reshape generational beliefs that get in the way of creating intimacy.
Couples therapy/counseling can help building stronger relationship. You will learn how to manage conflict, how to better communicate with each other. I often share with my clients that the words you use and the tone of voice when you share change everything! Please feel free to reach out and schedule your free consultation call.
