“ I feel much better after talking to my counselor.” “ I realize that there is a way out after counseling.” “ I have better self-awareness and have learned how to make decisions for myself through counseling.” This is some of the feedback I have received from my clients after counseling sessions. Counseling, also known as psychotherapy, is essentially based on the core idea of that talking with a counselor about the things that are bothering you. It helps you to clarify your concerns and put them into perspective. I have been working in counseling for over 10 years in Hong Kong, St.Louis, MO, and Seattle, WA.

Through a gentle invitation, I ask clients to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment as they arise and pass, nestling into the session as a place of safety and becoming grounded by the observance of breath. This natural unfolding helps to create spaciousness so that we can begin to navigate through the less than comfortable places within ourselves, looking at them squarely and experiencing them as they are, without repression or indulgence.

I believe that all persons have the basic right to be heard. We all have experiences that make us who we are, some of which we may need or wish to explore further or heal from. Together in counseling we can create a safe place to work toward agreed upon goals.

My approach to working with clients is based on building upon strengths, to generate solutions that empower the individual. I support my clients using various therapeutic modalities as they fortify their connection to themselves and others.

In a success driven society the demands on one's life can feel endless. Most people are experiencing the necessity to juggle several competing roles and responsibilities simultaneously. The human capacity to grow, expand, adapt and thrive is amazing and inspiring. However, there is no human on this earth who is perfect and not effected by prolonged states of stress & pressure. This pressure leads to depression, anxiety, disconnection, isolation and many other ailments. Compassion focused therapy is a central component to my therapeutic approach. Treatment incorporates empowering your voice to optimize your path towards healing. Change is within reach.

Your mind is racing, you feel overwhelmed and like you can barely hold it together. You feel the pressure of the expectations of others and live in constant dread of letting them down, or worse being discovered for being a fraud. Even in the quiet of the night your mind races with all the things you need to do, and is constantly worried about what you have forgotten, or who you may have let down. You feel powerless to change any of it.

To everyone that knows you – you’ve got it all together. But to be honest, the unresolved pain of past trauma negatively affects your mind, body, and overall well-being. Years of unresolved issues leaves you feel tired, overwhelmed and exhausted. You’re not sure how long you can keep up the facade. Perhaps you have been living up to other people’s expectations in addition to your own, and the load feels heavy.

If you're reading this, you're thinking about how a regular video session with a therapist could help make your life better during these difficult times. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, where you feel validated, supported, and gently challenged. This balance is essential, as avoidance can hinder your progress and personal growth. I recognize the importance of your family of origin, background, and culture, as these factors play a crucial role in the therapeutic process. My goal is to encourage you to move forward at your own pace, while also inspiring you to push yourself in order to foster positive change.

Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed by recent changes in your life, or just want to function better? I help clients navigate changes in their life and discover long term ways to manage their overall mental health. I work well with adult 18 + clients who are experiencing a life transition (starting/graduating college, career change, recent marriage), depression/anxiety, chronic medical issues (or recent diagnosis) or those in helping professions. As a mixed-raced person, I also enjoy exploring the many intersectional layers that come with trying to understand our own identity.
