It is inevitable that our identities are influenced by our cultural backgrounds and upbringing. There are such unique challenges when identifying as an immigrant, child of immigrant(s), growing up Asian AND American, and/or being separated from your caregivers at a young age. This includes immigration trauma, projected expectations, harmful comments on body image, differences in definitions of success, mental health stigma, and so much more.

As a second generation Asian American, I understand the complexities of various identities that intersect with each other.  Some of these challenges arise when there are conflicts between who we are and what we believe is expected of us. We will learn to acknowledge and reconcile these differences so you can experience more peace in who you are.
