Do you feel unheard or unappreciated, carrying heavy burdens, or find your relationships strained by overwhelming emotions? Clients seek counseling for many reasons. Some need a safe, supportive space to be heard when they lack that elsewhere. While friends and family can offer care, they may not provide the professional help or treatment needed. Others struggle to express their thoughts or feel lost and need guidance. I believe that everyone deserves a place where they feel understood and cared for, and I’m here to listen and support your growth.
To create this space, I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Feminist Approach, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions. These approaches allow me to meet you where you are on your journey. If you are struggling with trauma, depression, and anxiety, I'm here to support you in gaining more control of your life.
For those coming from Chinese-speaking backgrounds:
Do you find it difficult to fully convey your thoughts when using English in therapy? Some challenges might also be rooted in culture. As a native Mandarin speaker, I am able to provide counseling in our own language, with sensitivity to unique societal and cultural influences that shaped your experiences.
