As a psychodynamic and attachment oriented therapist, I believe that the foundation of therapeutic treatment is a safe and supportive relationship between therapist and client. The process of treatment often uses the therapeutic relationship itself to uncover relational patterns from earlier in life that may be causing pain or dysfunction in the present day. By identifying the historical antecedent to a seemingly confusing or inappropriate emotional response, client and therapist are able to disrupt maladaptive patterns and choose new, more values congruent responses.

In our hectic world, life can often feel difficult... You may feel worried and have difficulty quieting your mind, perhaps feeling like it's all you can do to get out of bed each day. Maybe you worry about your weight and obsess about food (what you want to eat but believe you shouldn’t), overeating, dieting, starving, or purging, tormented and consumed by self criticism and a harsh inner critic.... You're ready for a change but aren't sure where to start or feel too worn down to try something new. You want to be free from anxious, worried thoughts. You want to feel more alive and engaged in life and silence your harsh inner critic.

I am here to help your child, and you! Parenting in of itself has challenges, but when your child is struggling or exhibiting troubling behaviors, there is additional stress and worries that can be confusing and overwhelming. When a child exhibits problematic behaviors, they are signs that the child needs help. We will work together to minimize and diminish those behaviors, while also understanding what underlies those behaviors, and is creating inner conflict for your child. By gaining insight into your child’s perspective and their feelings, you will be able to relate to them in a way that will bring you closer together.

I find sitting and partnering with clients in their most vulnerable places to be a great honor, and I have found that doing so has often helped them to some of their greatest areas of growth, to an awareness of their own strengths, and to their deepest experiences of joy. This is especially true as they are met by someone on their journey who demonstrates genuine compassion, curiosity, and kindness.

Changes often raise fear and curiosity. I particularly enjoy working with clients who are full of curiosities and who are willing to explore unknowns and perceive unknowns as gifts. I am interested in supporting clients’ fear related to changes, and helping clients work on variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, traumas, identity development (e.g., sexual orientation and cultural identities), etc. Prior to arriving in the US, I was a mental health provider in Taiwan. In my early career, I practiced child play therapy and animal-assisted psychotherapy.
