Life doesn't always fall apart because we're weak. Sometimes it becomes overwhelming because we've been carrying too much for too long. I work with adults who feel stuck, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or caught in repeating patterns in relationships, family, or career. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who appear "fine" on the outside but feel confused, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I know what I should do, but I still can't move forward," you're probably exactly who I enjoy working with.
I'm not just listening. I'm thinking with you. Therapy with me is not just a place to vent. Together we'll slow things down, untangle what's actually happening beneath the surface. Clients often tell me that I help them connect dots they never noticed before. I'll ask thoughtful questions, offer honest perspectives when needed, and give practical tools.
Warm enough to feel safe. Analytical enough to create change. Honest enough to challenge you. Steady enough to stay with you through it. Together we'll make sense of what's happening, find a clearer path forward, and build lasting change. I look forward to meeting you. Therapy is available in both English and Mandarin. 可以讲中文

For depression and or trauma, I would normally work with you for about 8 sessions with cognitive behavioral therapy. We may include other empirical therapies, which we could discuss. Most patients see gradual lifting of symptoms within a month and consistent improvement thereafter.
