I have a passion for an individual who struggles in a relationship, with family members, have poor boundaries with others and themselves, have difficulty navigating different stages of life, and sense of self.
Starting therapy is difficult and scary; however, you do not have to do it yourself. I understand it is also vulnerable to share your stories with a stranger. Therapy is a space where you can feel safe being yourself. With sincerity, I strive to build that safe environment for you and work collaboratively to find yourself. I want to empower you to understand your thoughts and feelings. Working through your negative behavioral and thought patterns, we will identify how these currently affect your life. I will help you find solutions within yourself that you feel comfortable practicing and sustaining, using your natural strengths.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

應對生活變遷好多時候令人感到壓力重重,尤其係當社會、家庭和個人期望壓係你身上嘅時候。作為一位出生於香港嘅過來人,我明白身在異地嘅感受。我地都渴望過上充實的生活,再次感到快樂,但我地經常被期望要感恩、唔好再抱怨,唔好再發放負能量。好多人都面臨呢啲挑戰嘅時候,都認為自己係一個人。身在美國,學習一種新嘅文化,講一種唔同嘅語言,同時被期望取得成功係唔容易,透過專業心理治師嘅支持係好重要。

I specialize in working with college & graduate students, young professionals, adults, and couples, and have experience addressing issues such as panic disorder, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and more.
Welcome! You may be struggling with big emotions, panic, or deep sadness that don't seem to make sense. Most of us weren’t taught about emotions – how to understand them nor how to care for them. But emotions follow us through our whole life and play an important role in how we relate to ourselves and to other people. When we don't learn to care for and communicate our emotions in a healthy way, we have a harder time in adulthood establishing healthy attachments to others and feeling secure within ourselves. This is often to case for those of us who have experienced trauma, emotional neglect, or betrayal in the past.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
