EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Being raised in an Indian household in Japan and having experienced the challenges of balancing the differences in Asian and American cultures. She understands how difficult it can be to find your own identity and voice between these layers. Living between different cultural definitions of “success” can make you worrisome because you feel unable to live up to both sets of expectations. However, she believes you can find a functioning balance among how you were raised, the environment you are living in, and who you want to become. Her goal is to enable her clients to better balance expectations and important relationships while preserving their own mental health to establish autonomy.

Rhea’s therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a deep respect for the client’s unique journey. With a decade of dedicated service in the field she has become a trusted guide for individuals navigating through the complexities of family dynamics, relationship challenges, and the intricacies of cultural expectation and norms. She utilizes a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques, creating a personalized treatment plan for each client.
