When words get stuck, your feelings don’t have to…
Together we’ll untangle what’s inside so you can live with more ease and connect more authentically with others
You’ve Mastered Fitting In.
Now You’re Ready to Feel at Home.
You’ve spent a lifetime shapeshifting, tuning in to what others need, smoothing the edges, and trying to belong everywhere while never quite feeling at home anywhere. You can read a room in seconds, but when it’s quiet, you’re not always sure what you want. You say yes when you mean maybe. You hold tension in your body that never fully relaxes, even when you’re “off.”
You might find yourself people-pleasing at work or going numb with family, caught between cultures, expectations, and your own standards of who you should be. It’s exhausting, this quiet performance of being adaptable, agreeable, and put-together.
You’re ready to feel more ease in relationships, to trust your inner voice, to rest without guilt. You want to move through the world with a clearer sense of what’s yours, not what was handed to you — and to feel aligned in your work, family, and sense of self.
Hey, I’m Emily…
Growing up between cultures as a Mixed Asian American, I learned early what it means to live between worlds, to understand many perspectives, but not always feel rooted in one. Maybe you’ve felt that too: the constant reading of the room, the subtle shape-shifting to belong, the unease that lingers even with people you care about. I get how tiring that can be.
In therapy, I offer a grounded, collaborative space to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with your own inner voice. Whether you are navigating the complexities of a mixed identity, people-pleasing patterns, or the weight of always being “adaptable,” you don’t have to keep doing it alone.
How we see ourselves affects everything—our relationships, our health, our sense of belonging. My approach is humanistic and rooted in Gestalt therapy, which means I’m not here to tell you who you are, but to walk alongside you as you learn to trust your own experience. Together, we’ll explore what feels real and alive for you, so you can move with more ease and authenticity.
