online therapy for asian americans in Illinois
Virtual therapy for high-achieving Asian Americans across Illinois.
you've been holding it together for a long time
You're the one who shows up. The reliable one. The one who built a life that looks good on paper and still feels heavy to carry. If you're a high-achieving Asian American in Illinois, you may have spent years meeting everyone's expectations but your own, quietly wondering why "success" feels so draining.
Many of the Illinois clients I see are Chicago-area professionals in consulting, medicine, law, and tech. High performers who look fine on the outside often feel depleted on the inside. Therapy is a place to stop performing.
how online therapy works in Illinois
I'm a licensed psychologist in Texas (license #39304) with Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (PSYPACT APIT). Illinois participates in PSYPACT, the interstate compact for psychologists, which means I can legally provide therapy to you while you live in Illinois. There are no referrals or workarounds involved, just secure video sessions from wherever you're comfortable.
Sessions are scheduled in Central Time, same as Illinois, so there is no time-zone math.
what we can work on together
individual therapy
Anxiety and perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing, and the family and intergenerational dynamics you've been carrying alone.
couples therapy
For Asian American and multicultural couples ready to communicate differently, where cultural differences are part of the conversation instead of a footnote.
a note on crisis support
Online therapy isn't the right fit for emergencies. If you're in crisis in Illinois, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, text HOME to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line, or call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
