You wake up in the morning and can barely open your eyes before the panic hits. Your thoughts begin racing, your heart starts to pound, and you struggle to breathe. Trying to calm yourself down is no use, and you begin to wonder if there’s something physically wrong with you. You hate feeling like you have no control over your emotions. So you move through each day on edge, trying your best to avoid anything that might trigger your anxiety. Hiding behind a shield, never engaging with the outside world. You know there’s more out there for you and want the confidence to embrace everything life has to offer, but you’re scared.

You might be feeling stressed, lost, confused, overwhelmed, or stuck. Your thoughts and emotions feel “too much” that you just want them to stop. Maybe you've had enough of behavior patterns that get in the way of your self and your relationships. Maybe you've experienced life events that hold you back from being your most self. Or maybe you are unsure of where to even start. But here you are open to learning different ways of coping, being, and living. I can provide services for children, teens, and adults for individual, family, or couple sessions.

Due to a shortage of Asian therapists, I am only accepting Asian descent clients at this time. Please email me. DON'T CALL. I am a trauma-focused, EMDR-certified, clinical registered Art Therapist, and Marriage and Family Therapist. My offering is for those who wish to understand how one’s mind developed and how the body reacts to certain people or situations. The past has shaped our personality and habits, causing difficulty living life at this moment. We will explore past experiences in order to identify the root(s) of the presenting symptoms so that we can be free to have choices and wisdom to take action for a healthier future.

As a psychologist, I allow the space for individuals to gain insight and growth in their lives that help them reach their goals and aspirations. We all encounter challenges, whether it be someone suffering from anxiety and depression, a family who just found out their child has a medical issue, a child with fears, or a teen who has been bullied. During these unfortunate times what is needed is someone to connect with and help you out of this dark cave of distress. One of my greatest strengths has been the ability to connect with others and reveal the ways through this emotional distress.

Everyone experiences some form of incongruence in life. However, when one's life gets disrupted and overwhelmed by conflict, anxiety, trauma, loss, or stress of everyday life, it causes psychological and emotional distress and loss of insight that constrains growth and creativity. Psychotherapy offers a helping relationship that is warm and empathic, where one feels safe and fully received to explore and reflect on incongruences with fresh perspectives and insights. Psychotherapy provides a climate for the individuals to emerge as someone who can fully live and trust one's experience as satisfying in each circumstance.

Although some days seem fine, you find yourself thinking about something and you can't seem to stop. You feel down, even hopeless at times. Memories and thoughts make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep at night. You find yourself avoiding places, people, or things that make you feel uncomfortable, fearful, or anxious. You may have difficulty concentrating at work or school and being present with yourself or others. By identifying, processing, and addressing what is causing your discomfort, we can work toward feeling whole, at peace, and empowered to live the life that you want for yourself again.

While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches.
