Hi! I'm Sarath, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I help professional adults —especially first- and second-generation BIPOC individual —stop doubting themselves and start living more authentically. As a therapist of color, I understand what it means to move between worlds. My work is shaped by my lived experience and a deep commitment to helping others reconnect with their truth, their values, and their capacity for healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
First off, I want therapy to feel like a safe exhale—not just another thing on your to-do list. Our first session is about getting to know you—your story, your values, and what brought you here. We’ll talk about where you’re feeling stuck and what you’d like to shift. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your world: your mental health, body, relationships, community, and any spiritual beliefs you hold. If we’re a good fit, great! If not, I’ll support you in finding someone who is.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I bring a warm, grounded presence and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. As a first-gen woman of color and daughter of Cambodian refugees, I understand the complex impact of intergenerational trauma, identity exploration, and cultural expectations. My greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe, affirming space for clients to feel seen, heard, and supported. I guide clients through life transitions with a holistic, integrative approach that honors the mind, body, and soul. Rooted in cultural humility and social justice, I’m committed to helping my clients move from overwhelm and self-doubt toward clarity, ease, and self-trust.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly trying to be everything for everyone but still feeling like it’s never quite enough—you’re not alone. Maybe you look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside, you’re exhausted from the overthinking, the people-pleasing, and the pressure to always “get it right.” Maybe you’re tired of second-guessing yourself or putting your needs last because you were taught that your worth is tied to how much you give. If any of this resonates, I’m really glad you’re here. I work with high-functioning adults who are navigating life transitions—career changes, relationship shifts, identity exploration, or simply asking, "What now?" Many of the people I work with identify as women, BIPOC, and first- or second-generation. My practice is inclusive of all racial and cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
