Therapists in Lebanon, NJ

“Learning from hindsight, gaining insight, and developing foresight” This is the motto I focus on helping my clients to achieve. I’m a compassionate person who genuinely enjoys helping and working with people. I look forward to helping individuals and families who are seeking help coping with a range of psychological, emotional, or behavioral challenges.

You deserve to be heard. You deserve a safe space to explore yourself. I have worked with people from different backgrounds with a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and relationships. I view individuals in their specific socio-cultural contexts and emphasize the value of empowerment. I take a strength-based approach to help them reflect on their journey and move on with a healthier mindset. Being a bilingual counselor, I am able to provide culturally sensitive therapy in English, Mandarin or Cantonese.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where a trusting therapeutic relationship can be built. This has been, in my 18+ years of experience, the most effective way to ensure we can do meaningful work to achieve your goals. In this therapy journey, I hope to support and challenge you along the way, working collaboratively to help you live a more fulfilling life. Through my gentle guidance, clients are encouraged to be more open and introspective by identifying goals, becoming more aware of their maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, and empowering them to work towards their needs and wants.

Perhaps you have feelings of sadness, guilt, shame or find yourself growing impatient with your loved ones or the world around you. Carl Jung once said: Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. Are you ready to discover new ways to walk out this life of yours?
