| 中文 I work mainly with ADHD/neurodivergence (my niche), trauma, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, attachment styles & relationships, and emotional regulation.
Going through life with neurodivergence, anxiety, or the impact of past experience can feel burdening and isolated. On top of it, some of us may also bare the internalized shame & self critique, making it more exhausting... This is where our journey can start!
We'll find clarity in your struggles and identify barriers to work around them. We will develop healthier coping skills to improve your sense of security. I strive to help you love yourself again and reach full potential.
My approach is gentle while direct, analytical in finding root causes to bring clarity, and practical in exploring actionable steps and techniques. I specialize in psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, IFS, and Mindfulness. I also combine an Eastern and a Western philosophy.
It takes a lot of courage to seek professional support and I can imagine your feeling of distress at this moment. It is also stressful to "shop" through therapists to find the best fit. I welcome you to connect with me and see if I could be your fit in your therapy journey. I would also be happy to connect to help you find one that works best for you.
