I am a relationship counselor who specializes in working with high-conflict couples. We believe that our behavior patterns in relationships are often shaped by experiences from childhood. For instance, a couple that is excited to get married may find themselves constantly arguing and feeling rejected. I can help track the cycle of conflict (Emotional Family Therapy by Sue Johnson) connecting/contrasting the secondary and primary emotions and noting the attachment impact of the couple.

Sometimes life gets in the way of truly living. You may be feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Maybe you are more anxious than usual, noticing the impact of trauma in your life, or finding it especially difficult to navigate important relationships. Whatever has led you to this place, you are not alone. These experiences make it difficult to live the life you want and have meaningful relationships. My role is to help you move away from avoiding difficult experiences and move toward a more open and accepting perspective towards yourself and your experiences so that you can create the vital life you want.

**Accepting NEW CLIENTS for IN-OFFICE and TELETHERAPY** I meet the child where s/he is at, establish foundational rapport, and work together to find sustainable and practical solutions. I started my practice, with the belief that we can plant the seed for a healthy mindset. It is never too late OR TOO EARLY to seek professional treatment for your child. If you have an inkling that your child may be struggling with behaviors, big feelings, coping, adjustment, etc., or lost his/her spunk, I encourage you to trust your instincts and reach out. I hope to journey with you in this process!

Do you feel stuck? Are you tired of working so hard and feeling like nothing ever changes? As human beings, we are creatures of habit. The way we think, reason and relate are based on patterns that have developed throughout our lives. If you continue to think - alone - about your struggles, you'll likely remain stuck in the same patterns. As human beings, we are also relational creatures. We learn about ourselves when we are in relationships with others. It is essential for any person's growth and development to think - with - another person.

Did you mature earlier than you wanted? Were you expected to have everything sorted out from a young age? You might be an overachiever, the type of person to have it together. You’re probably no stranger to perfectionism and the inner critic, and feelings of shame and guilt might be ever-present companions. Perhaps you know exactly what others expect from you, but you’re not so sure about what it is you want. These challenges can be overwhelming, but they also present opportunities for profound growth and self-discovery.

Do you frequently feel overwhelmed, irritable or hopeless? Perhaps you're worried, not eating well or experiencing nightmares. Feelings of anxiety and depression can make us feel alone, ashamed and helpless but there are solutions. Working with a therapist can help. If you grew up in an environment that didn’t provide you with the skills needed to navigate life’s complex landscape it can be a struggle to manage yourself and your relationships. You can be successful. Together we can identify not only the obstacles getting in your way but also the internal resources you already possess to live a healthy and meaningful life.

Asian Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
