Therapists in Berkeley, CA

與我的工作中我會邀請你跟我一同去探險，進入你內在的世界，去喚醒、去放下、去成長。我的角色不是去規劃你的人生為你做決定，而是培養你擁有解決的能力和自我的力量，讓你成爲自己生命的主人。我將陪伴你在人生的沙灘上一步一步前進，聆聽你的故事。當你想進入深層的回憶之海時，我會陪伴你一同去探索，當你想征服未知的大山時，我會協助你成長跨越。 我將開啟一個無限可能的舞台，在這舞台上各種情感、面貌、自我都被允許綻放。你將是這個舞台的演員、編劇和導演。這將是你的空間，去成為和實現你與生俱來那最完整的「我」。

You feel stuck in your relationships. Feeling stuck with too many things you are navigating . You are out of touch with your needs and desires or how to communicate them effectively. You hate the fighting but don't know how to slow down. That's why I'm here to help. I support you build inner resources so that you can be unfazed by judgements and challenges, centered in your self-love and clarity, have ease in giving and receiving, communicating and decision-making. I am especially skilled in helping multicultural, marginalized identities, neurodivergent, poly/CNM couples with communication, trauma and intimacy.

If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions- whatever you may be going through in life, you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to support you. Let's work together to build tools to manage the stresses of life and explore the connection to your authentic expressions of self today.

Let go, let in, and embrace - I believe these three steps can be the hardest, yet, with compassion, they can be the most life-giving and beautiful approaches to human life. It has always been my greatest pleasure to assist clients in the process of letting go, letting in, and embracing life more intimately. Clients I work with include individuals seeking to transform impacts of trauma or loss, relieve burden associated with hoarding or clutterring, learn more about self-love and love for and with others.

If you're looking for a therapist who brings authenticity, warmth, and a feminist sensibility to their work, I might be the person to help! I typically work with clients who find themselves at complex intersections of identity, especially around sexuality, gender and culture. Many of my clients are children of immigrants, and/or queer and trans people of color, navigating questions about family and relationships. I can offer an affirming space work through intergenerational trauma and feelings of cultural guilt or shame. I am also able to support clients wit common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress management & more.

此地，尚有学业、工作、身份、关系的重重挑战；彼处，千万里外的故土仍牵动你的心弦。你努力求生，并很可能在某个维度上十分成功；但在文化与文化间，那份深处的孤独无处安放。各种期待压得你喘不过气，你有时自问，“我”是否能被这个世界允许和接纳。你或许也曾求助过心理工作者，可是获得理解并不容易，甚至时常让人沮丧。谢谢你仍然坚韧地不停探寻，而你走到这里，是给我一个机会提醒你：你值得被全然地看见，你值得拥抱爱与自由，你值得。

你在人生的十字路口上嗎？無論是感情、工作、生涯轉換還是重大失落，經歷了這麼多的你，真的辛苦了。人生這條路很不容易，起起伏伏且充滿著各種未知和變數，你很努力的想要把每一件事情都做好，符合每個人的期待，但在夜深人靜之時，你卻覺得悵然若失，好像心裡空了一塊。你不確定自己到底怎麼了，可能是生活的壓力讓你喘不過氣、與他人關係的摩擦讓你感到消耗，抑或是某個被埋藏已久的記憶和傷痛總會跑出來擾亂你的心緒。你不想再這樣繼續下去了，不想再深陷於情緒的泥淖之中，你想改變，想為自己做出不同的選擇，所以你來到了這裡，期望能找到一個人，願意好好的聽你說。 身為一個諮商師，我深信讓我們痛苦的並不是生命經驗本身，而是我們對生命經驗的詮釋限制了我們。透過諮商和心理治療，你能學會從不同的角度看待你的人生經驗，對自己有更多的了解，並在探索和療癒的過程中，找回內在如實而純粹的力量。

你感到情緒壓抑嗎？是否經歷了童年、家庭或身份創傷，讓你感到壓力和焦慮？或者你只是希望更好地了解自己，過上更幸福的生活。如果你有任何以上的感受，我可以幫助你。 我畢業於加州大學伯克萊分校，社會福利研究所成人精神健康碩士學位，並擁有多年在不同臨床環境中工作的經驗，包括自殺防治熱線、社區精神保健、性健康診所和大型公立以及私立研究醫院。透過這些經驗，我對尋求精神健康照護的人所面臨的挑戰有深入的了解。特別是亞裔、年輕人、移民和性少數群體。作為一位在12歲時移民到美國的臺灣裔美國人，我理解移民族群所面臨的精神挑戰。我也了解弱勢群體所面臨的獨特挑戰，並致力於為所有個案創造一個安全和包容的環境。

You crush it at work! But you feel like a total failure in your relationships. Exhaustion and hopelessness permeate your existence like a dark fog. Caffeine and self-propulsion have become your two best friends. Relationships should be fulfilling, right? Then why do you feel so numb, disengaged, and often embarrassed by your reactions to others? Sure, you hit your numbers at work. But your reward is dragging yourself home to a lonely, sexless marriage. Another conflict ensues. Great. Your wife’s judgmental stare leaves you feeling ashamed and like you’re 5 years old again. Let’s face it – you haven’t felt loved in years.

I graduated from a M.S. mental health counseling program at Eastern Washington University in 1995, got certified and ran a private practice in Seattle from 1995 through 2003. I worked in an outpatient community clinic, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, at retreat centers, and at a college counseling center until starting work on a PhD in Religious Studies and Psychology. I worked, studied, and lived in Europe, East Asia, and Africa before teaching 10 years at San Jose State University, so I am comfortable and confident working with very different sorts of people and I want everyone and anyone to feel welcome and at ease in my care.

I work with unique individuals who are seemingly successful and happy but deep inside feel lost, alone, even if they are in a relationship, and often feel like they don't belong or struggle to be present in life. With expertise gathered from years of experience across borders, time zones and cultures, I dive alongside men and women into the deep ocean of darkness— including all types of diversity, in-between/intersecting identities, worldwide travelers, high-achieving/performing and creative people. I am Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) certified and was formerly a clinical supervisor and psychologist at Johns Hopkins University.
