Multicultural Counseling in Overland park, KS and Cambridge, ma

when your identity feels complicated

Being multiracial or navigating multiple cultural identities can be both beautiful and complicated. You might feel proud of your background, but also notice moments where you feel out of place—not “enough” of one group, or like you have to explain yourself to others. Even in spaces that should feel safe, you might catch yourself wondering where you belong, or feeling like parts of you are invisible.

you might be thinking…

“I don’t feel fully accepted anywhere.”

“I’m too much of one culture, not enough of another.”

“Sometimes I feel invisible, other times hyper-visible, and neither feels good.”

You might notice…

  • Feeling split between cultures

  • Code-switching or hiding parts of yourself

  • Experiencing microaggressions or judgment

  • Struggling with belonging or isolation

how cultural identity therapy supports you

You don’t have to sort through these questions alone. Multiracial counseling is a place to talk openly about what it’s like to carry more than one culture, to feel “in between,” or to wonder where you fit.

Together, we can:

  • Make sense of the mixed messages you’ve gotten about who you “should” be

  • Work through moments of exclusion, microaggressions, or misunderstanding

  • Explore how family and cultural expectations shape the choices you make

  • Practice ways to respond to bias or curiosity without shutting down

  • Build a sense of connection to all the parts of who you are

    Feeling caught between worlds can impact your mental health in multiple ways. You might also explore depression therapy if low mood or isolation show up, or perfectionism therapy if cultural pressures are amplifying negative self-talk.

finding your own way forward

This isn’t about fitting into someone else’s idea of who you should be. It’s about creating a sense of belonging that starts with you. Multicultural counseling can help you feel more grounded, clear, and at peace with your identity, even when others don’t fully understand.

Schedule a consultation when you’re ready to talk with someone who truly gets it and who will see and support all of you.

Multicultural counseling in overland park, ks & cambridge, ma FAQS

  • If you find yourself juggling multiple cultural identities (“Which culture do I belong to?”), experiencing micro-aggressions, feeling invisible or hyper-visible in social or professional settings, or noticing that cultural expectations (from family or community) compound stress or perfectionism, then seeing a multicultural psychologist can help.

    As someone who is biracial myself and deeply focused on multiracial identity work, I understand these experiences firsthand.

    In short: you don’t just get help with anxiety, burnout or identity confusion — you get that within the context of your cultural experience and identity landscape.

  • Absolutely. I work with many high-achieving professionals who struggle with perfectionism, burnout, OCD, and anxiety, as well as those navigating cultural or multiracial identity concerns. In our work together, we look at both your professional stress patterns and how your cultural background, identity expectations, and sense of belonging shape the way you show up. It’s an integrated approach — not something we separate or compartmentalize.

  • Every person’s journey is unique, but my focus is always on real, lasting change — not quick fixes. When culture, identity, and high-expectation patterns are part of your experience, the work tends to go deeper. We may explore cultural narratives you’ve internalized, your sense of belonging, high-performance patterns, and ways to build self-compassion and a more authentic identity. Many people start noticing meaningful shifts within a few months, and deeper transformation continues with consistent engagement over time.

  • Only if it feels relevant to what you’re working on. Some weeks we may focus on stress, relationships, or anxiety; other weeks we may explore identity, micro-aggressions, or cultural expectations. Multicultural counseling doesn’t force these topics — it simply makes room for them when they matter.

  • Just schedule a free consultation on the website. We’ll talk briefly about what you’re looking for and make sure we’re a good fit. If it feels right, you can book your first virtual session and we’ll get started from there.
