As an immigrant myself, I develop my passion to work with international students and American born Asian American who has been struggling with bridging their family dynamic challenge.
A necessary part of life is facing difficult situations that will be hard to understand, and thus we seek validation. When you are overwhelmed with emotions, you are unable to address them and respond negatively. You might be aware of your sadness, anxiety, fears, and shame. In that process, you could uncover a lot of how you defend yourself from rejection or part of our vulnerable self both consciously and unconsciously. I start my private practice by incorporating my experiences to work with clients who struggling with depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation, relationship problems and acculturation issues.

As a woman tending to multiple roles and responsibilities, it can be easy to lose sight of caring for your own needs. You may feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities, feel anxious, depressed, and even experience physical and spiritual burnout related to issues you are struggling with. You may also be experiencing difficulty maintaining relationships with others including those closest to you- partners, children, and or other family members. Your reality can be hard to deal with because it is very different than the life you envisioned for yourself. Though is difficult to have hope amidst your situation, all hope is not lost.

I understand how difficult it can be when you are torn between what your family wants and what you want for yourself.
You work hard in relationships and at the workplace to meet your own high standards. But feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction often creep up despite your accomplishments. Every time you achieve a goal, a fleeting sense of happiness is soon replaced by the familiar feelings of emptiness and anxiety. You long to approach challenging situations with increased flexibility and ease, to make decisions that you believe in and feel good about. Creating a sustained sense of meaning in life without reverting to the same, old cycle of despair seems far away, but actually, it's closer than you know. This is where therapy comes in.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
