Do you often feel like you are just "holding it all together," caught in a tug-of-war between your true self and social roles? Past trauma, lingering anxiety, and body tension often surface when you least expect them. Combined with family expectations and interpersonal pressure, it can feel suffocating. I want you to know: your feelings are valid, and you don’t have to face this alone.
Using an integrative approach of ACT and IFS-informed EMDR, I help you process trauma, anxiety, and stress stored in your nervous system. Together, we will create space for your experiences while learning to "unhook" from painful patterns. My goal is to help you move beyond struggling toward a life of freedom, autonomy and meaning.
True healing flourishes where your voice is honored and your cultural context is understood. As a bilingual therapist (English/Mandarin), I am mindful of the social and family dynamics shaping our inner worlds. If you are ready, I invite you to a 15-minute consultation as we work toward the life that truly matters to you.
