I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, a Psychologist Intern, and a Certified Life Coach who specializes in individual, couple's, family, and group counseling. I work with a broad spectrum of clients with various ethnic and cultural backgrounds, who are experiencing difficulty in marital and family relationships, workplace conflicts, life satisfaction, management of emotions, and cultural adjustment in the USA.

In my work, I listen to what the client speaks verbally and through his or her body. I pay special attention to client's unspoken words. Through empathic attunement with the client, I become aware of what he or she is experiencing in the therapeutic process, as well as in his or her past. I am also impacted by client's painful experiences and resonate with his or her feeling states. Through becoming a witness to client's painful past, the client can become free of his or her earlier experiences and can feel joy and pleasure of living, being alive, loving, and being loved.
