Together, we will

- Work through conflicts between the values of autonomy and conformity
- Recognize unmet needs and learn ways to meet those needs
- Learn effective ways of communicating with family members
- Develop strategies to repair estranged relationships
Working with intergenerational issues in Asian immigrant families requires culturally responsive approaches. If you are looking for someone who can understand your unique perspective as an Asian American, I can guide you towards healing. Although there are many shared experiences among the Asian community, Asian-Americans are immensely diverse in many ways and I do not make assumptions about your experiences and adherence to traditional cultural values and practices.
