Clients come to me due to anxiety and trauma related concerns while facing stressors and life transitions. Life is difficult when you are experiencing mental health struggles due to health, family or marital situations, dating hardships, work conflict and/or past life experiences. It affects self confidence. You could be struggling while navigating the impact of immigration, cultural background, identity, inter-generational differences, interpersonal challenges, and career demands on your worldview and yourself. As an Asian therapist, I not only have familiarity but also cultural competency in helping APIDA individuals.
My practice and training include CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Compassion based, and other trauma informed interventions such as IFS, EMDR and CPT. I specialize in anxiety (all spectrums) and trauma related concerns. Depression and anxiety tend to co-occur, thus I also work with clients in managing their depression and/or grief.
We live in a very challenging environment in this present day. If you find yourself struggling to stay emotionally well and would like to gain more perspective about yourself and grow in your coping strategies, I would be happy to be part of that journey with you.
