Do you desire a more enjoyable and fulfilling life? Do you ever wish you could find more support and intimacy in your relationships? You may have many things people consider a part of a good life, such as work, family, friends, and various material possessions, and yet you still feel empty and discontented. Furthermore, unwelcomed emotional distress and mood fluctuations may have been bothering you for some time. You have noticed difficulty controlling your worrying thoughts and anxious feelings. Quite often, fatigue and lack of motivation stops you from engaging in activities you used to love. And you wonder what's wrong?

All of us come up with ways to manage life's stresses. Each one of these strategies was born out of a need to protect ourselves - to survive. Yet sometimes, the methods we relied on to help us out of difficult situations end up being the very source of more difficulties. Perhaps you isolate yourself when relationships get hard and leave loved ones feeling abandoned; perhaps the only way you know how to love pushes your child further away; and perhaps you're an achiever who, when the lights are dimmed and applause is gone, feels endlessly empty and small. Your own stuff is getting in the way of you being who you want to be.

Welcome! I'm glad you've taken this courageous step towards self-discovery and growth. As a fellow immigrant who moved after turning adult, I deeply understand the frustrations, confusions, and self-doubts that are difficult to recognize and tell. Cultural differences, identity issues, economic pressures, relationship challenges, and personal aspirations, all can be so motivating while suffocating.

My specialties include low self-esteem, anxiety, trauma-related issues, insecurity, attachment styles, and FOO (Family of origin) issues. I tend to work well with clients who appreciate connection, honesty, and humor; who are interested in learning new things; who are into music and arts; who possess sensitivity, intuition, and a spiritual inclination. I particularly enjoy working with bilingual/bicultural individuals experiencing an identity crisis; college students or young professionals feeling stuck; and parents/couples who wish to improve their parenting/partnership by healing their own emotional wounds.

I perceive life as a journey, consisting of searching meaning and coping: Meaning in different roles and aspects of life motivates us to move forward; coping is strategies to get there from here. However, at different life stages, we often got stuck because of different reasons. Thus, either we no longer can see the life meaning(s) and/or our coping strategies are no longer effective. We are likely stuck under these circumstances, which leads to sufferings. I believe that counseling is a catalyst to facilitate the needed changes & adjustments to get unstuck and to have a meaningful life again.

How can we change and grow? SENSING anxiety, stress, fear, and knowing that "something" NEEDS to be addressed and made better is often the start to being more alive. Getting to a higher living and performance level; developing a balancing mindfulness; solving complex problems; working toward life or career transitioning; and working with people who feel "stuck" and are looking for new direction are all parts of my focus as Coach. Comments I’ve received: "You really 'get' me." "I could not have handled this crisis without you." "You challenge me to do better, and hold me accountable." "Thank you for hearing me!" "Fabulous."

I have enormous respect for the power each individual has in creating positive change in their life and work hard with individuals and couples to accomplish this. Positive change often means learning new skills and strategies that will help you live more successfully and develop more enriching and meaningful relationships. Positive change also means doing something different rather than doing the same thing over and over again hoping you will get better results. Positive change takes place in the present as we face our fears, take responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and move towards what we value.

You’ve got a ring on your finger and a date on your calendar, but you’re quickly realizing that wedding planning isn’t as blissful as you hoped. You’re overwhelmed, irritable, anxious, and exhausted. From decision fatigue to spotlight fright; family drama to bad bridesmaids; difficult vendors to tight budgets, and of course unpacking and letting go of the emotional baggage that you don’t want to carry into your marriage… engagement and wedding planning is an emotional maze. The truth is most brides feel tired, stressed, and often times isolated. Left untreated these feelings can develop into true anxiety, depression, and burnout.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
