Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

Are you struggling to meet the demands of the day-to-day? On the surface everything is “fine” but underneath is there an inner critic that rails against you all day? As an Asian-American therapist who sees the therapeutic relationship as a powerful instrument of change, I see therapy as a sacred site to bear witness to and support the whole person lingering in and around the thresholds of life. It’s a space where you are seen and accepted for who you are, where we can safely untangle generational wounds, shame, perfectionism, internalized invisibility, and find the courage to explore, learn, and tend to the messiness of life.

I specialize in therapy care for children, teens, young adults & families. Parents are included as part of the therapy process from start to finish. Individual clients are seen as well using a relational and humanistic lens. Issues you may want to focus on: building cooperation & fostering openness instead of hostility & defiance; growing self esteem & confidence instead of fearfulness, clinging & sadness; increasing tolerance, self control instead of tantrums & aggression. Our work will heal family patterns of discord, hurt & division & will help children along their journey of becoming a confident, well rounded individual.

As your psychologist, I offer empathy, support and a collaborative approach for fostering goodness-of-fit parenting in your family. That is, I help you to discover the most effective ways for you to parent your unique child.

Are you concerned about how sad or anxious your child is? Are you getting frequent calls from school regarding your child's behavior? Are you having issues communicating with your teenager?

Have you ever felt stuck? Told yourself, “I don’t know what to do,” or “I don’t know where I’m going?

That’s when a professional coach or therapist can help. I have more than 15 years of experience supporting people to return to wholeness. That means finding your purpose, successfully navigating transitions, moving out of burnout, developing life and parenting skills, and to attaining your goals.
