My ideal client is someone feeling overwhelmed by challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflicts, and issues related to shame and guilt, racial/cultural identity, faith, spirituality, end-of-life issues, grief, self-awareness, and boundaries. I work to create a safe space for feelings to be expressed and understood, which opens up possibilities for change and achievement toward a fulfilling life, including healthy relationships and greater well-being. I emphasize cultural sensitivity to help you uncover your inner strength, build resilience, navigate emotions, and achieve personal growth.

Most of my clients find me when they’re feeling overwhelmed and are seeking space to explore their own story—their current challenges, past pain, and desire to envision a better future. Many specifically hope to explore dynamics in their families of origin, the impact of race and culture on their life experiences, and to integrate faith and spirituality into therapy if that's important to them. My clients include teens, high-achieving professionals, people in ministry, ‘helper’ types, creatives, and couples, and I offer therapy in English and Mandarin Chinese.

Healing is a deeply personal journey, and integral to this process is having a nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe and heard. Therapy can be that safe place to explore aspects of your identity you may never have addressed, reconnect with wounded parts of yourself, and foster a greater sense of acceptance to help you to handle the many stresses of life. Whether your concerns involve childhood trauma, life transitions, or relationship issues, I will meet you where you currently are with empathy and patience.

If you are wanting more peace, and satisfaction in your relationships, sexuality, and inner life, I would be honored to help you achieve this. I welcome you to include your faith into your psychotherapy. Often inner conflicts can produce anxiety, out of control behavior, depression, and even panic. Psychotherapy can help you in significant ways- through examining your motivation and actions, learning new skills for communicating and listening, understanding your strengths and weaknesses, finding clarity about issues you feel conflicted about, making sense of trauma and difficult experiences, and thinking through practical options.

Transitions are hard. There is often so much shame around trying to figure out who we are and asking for what we want. Am I going to burden others? Am I too much for people if I ask for something that I desire? Am I being "selfish"? Who am I to "demand" others for things I don't think I "deserve"? If these are some of the questions you have asked yourself, then I'm here to help. It's okay to feel lost, like you're wandering the woods alone. I'm here for you so we can wander these woods together.
