I work well with people who feel like they are cycling through repeating patterns in their life, particularly in relationships with their family, at work, or in relationship with their Self. My clients are insightful and brave. They tend to need gentle encouragement to see things slightly differently and develop more security. I use a combination of different types of therapies and techniques, depending on the particular problems someone is struggling with. These techniques help people establish boundaries in their families, behavioral change for harmful habits and addictions, and assertive communication skills.

Life gets rough – it can be overwhelming and difficult to manage at times. It may feel like no one is listening or understands the struggles you’re going through. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space for you. You’ll have a voice to tell your story, express your emotions, and not feel judged. Everyone has their own unique experiences and although I may not have experienced your situation and circumstances, I'm willing to do the work and listen to everything you have to say. As a 1.5 gen Chinese-American, I also understand the difficulties of navigating through racism, family dynamics, clashing values, and identity.

You miss the relationship that you and your partner used to have. When it felt fun and carefree. Now, it feels like you’re fighting more than you’re enjoying each other. You’re so tired of feeling alone in your emotions. Your partner isn’t getting it. You’re having difficulty navigating how you handle your finances, family issues, division of labor, and fertility or parenting issues. You check your phone to numb out for a minute and all you see are pictures of other people’s perfect relationships, dream families, fancy vacations and clean houses. You can't help but feel less than.

I believe that our emotions - even when they are unpleasant to feel - can serve as compasses, leading us towards truths about our experiences, ourselves, and what we need most. In our work together, one of my goals is to encourage you to approach your emotions with openness and curiosity, and in turn, show up for yourself with patience and compassion.

This often means exploring personal history, family background, foundational experiences and key relationships in your life, as well as hopes for the future – all of which may impact how you're feeling today.
If life has felt particularly hard or upsetting recently, know that you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a psychotherapist, I meet with people living with anxiety, depression, grief and more. I frequently work with adults who have experienced childhood trauma, helping them to understand past experiences and thrive in the present and future. My clients have often realized that their current coping skills are no longer working, and in seeking therapy are taking an important, difficult and necessary step to feel better.

You may have just gotten out of a relationship and feel like you’re making the same mistakes over and over again or that you can’t tell what you’re doing wrong. Perhaps you’re still in a relationship but are unsure about how to feel about it. Maybe you’re not sure what kind of relationship you would like to have with your family. Or maybe you're realizing that your friendships aren’t satisfying in the ways you wished they would be.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
