Couples Therapy for Queer Asian Relationships
Queer Asian Couples Therapist in SF Bay Area | Telehealth in California, Washington, and Florida
Feeling Disconnected in Your Relationship?
Even when you love each other, being in a queer relationship can feel overwhelming — especially for Asian American couples navigating cultural pressure, family expectations, and unspoken trauma.
Are you experiencing:
Constant miscommunication or conflict cycles?
Emotional distance or avoidance during intimacy?
Shame, shutdown, or fear around sex and touch?
Tension about being “out” with family or community?
Repeating relational patterns that feel stuck or painful?
The Unique Challenges of Queer Asian Relationships
As a queer Asian therapist, I see how my clients identities shape how they give and receive love. In my practice, I work with queer couples navigating:
Internalized homophobia and sexual shame
Intergenerational and religious trauma
Cultural values like filial piety, silence, and respectability
Racialized dating dynamics and body image concerns
Pressure to conform to heteronormative or cis-normative expectations
Family rejection & intergenerational trauma that affects the ways couples connect
Repetitive conflict that leaves you feel shut down
MY Approach to Couples Therapy:
I integrate three evidence-based models of therapy:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – to explore how past wounds and protective parts show up in the relationship
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – to rebuild emotional safety and secure bonding
Gottman Method Couples Therapy – to improve communication, conflict resolution, and connection
All sessions are trauma-informed, queer-affirming, and grounded in an anti-oppressive lens.
