Are you a high achiever? A perfectionist? A people pleaser? Are you unsatisfied and anxious, but you don't know what to do? Maybe you’re constantly stressing about problems that never even arise. Maybe you are struggling with moving forward because of the disturbing experience you've had in the past. Maybe negative and traumatic experiences caused emotional pain, changed who you really are, and damaged your relationships. It's not too late to seek help because healing is possible. I will work with you so you can achieve your goal, and I can assist you in feeling like yourself again. I'm patient. Trust me, I will be with you!
My specialty includes anxiety, trauma, depression, OCD, prenatal/perinatal/postpartum issues, immigration/acculturation issues (especially Asians/Asian Americans), (cross-cultural) couples, and grieving issues. I also successfully work with clients who had negative experiences/unsuccessful outcomes with their previous therapists. I'm confident in what I do!
I believe that building a trusting relationship is one of the most important things in a therapeutic relationship. I am honest, caring, patient, and transparent. I want you to feel safe and well informed before starting counseling because I care about you. With me, you can achieve a sense of calmness, confidence, and happiness. You can breathe again.
